A few of the many things to be enjoyed at the Ekka.
Crosswise: Woodchop showing 4 types of events and the very handy beer/wine bar, marvellous finches, Anna petting the biggest sheep on Earth, Errol with his dream tractor, one of many incredible quilts, a cool pottery hare, one of many decorated cakes, another decorated cake - a dog which could not be ignored, a native floral display. Unfortunately it was too wet for us to see the ring events, and I have no photos of side show alley as I hate it, and I have no photos of the showbag pavillion as the little boys weren't with us, and I have no photos of the food, wine, meat, beer, seafood, condiments, chocolates etc pavillion as we were too busy tasting and eating... :)
Sounds like a wonderful day- I love a good "state fair" as they're called here. Our favorite is always the tractor pull and or the livestock pull. The cakes are amazing- and how fun it that to pet the biggest sheep in the world? great collage!
All of your comments about state fairs, exhibitions etc were so interesting to read. It sounds as if they all have the same basic concept - to highlight the wonderful area that you live in! The Ekka started in 1876 and has only ever missed 2 years in all that time. It's slightly different each year too - different displays and entertainments. Makes you keep going back!!
