Snapshot of the show

There’s nothing like the Esperance Agricultural Show! Look back at the good times with our pictures from the two days:

Performances by Brooke McClymont and Adam Eckersley had people rocking and rolling into the first night of the show.
The live music headline act brought all sorts to the dance floor to indulge in some good country vibes.
 
Freestyle Now rolled out the rad with BMX shows throughout the show days.  There was no shortage of backflips as the crew pulled out all the stops to impress the Esperance crowd.
The audience was treated to King Brown’s dessert damper with custard while the king himself explained how to determine the best coal to use for camp oven cooking.
He said the wrong coal burns too hot, making it difficult to stop food burning or to even stand near the oven. The right coal, he said, does the job without making the food or the chef too hot.
Expert horse-riding skills were on display in the camp draft competition.
The first stage of the camp draft was the cut out, where a mounted rider entered a “camp” which enclosed up to seven head of cattle.
The rider would cut one heifer from the herd and bring it to the other side of the “camp”, blocking and turning the heifer to show they had the beast under control.
Ian McKenzie was known to the event MC as a “veteran” and scored 20 points out of a possible 26 for his run in the camp draft cut out.
 
Friday’s festivities were topped off with a display of fireworks that impressed the grown-ups just as much as the kids. Highlights from the display included heart-shaped fireworks and the succession of big bangs that seemed to turn the night sky into gold
Show jumping.
Side show alley was well and truly alive.
Poultry fancier Sue Scudds’ Australorp cock took first prize for its class in the H/B-soft feathered large fowl division at the Esperance Show.
