Marburg Show Society vice president Barb Frohloff encouraged everyone to come along to celebrate a fantastic event for the town
“It brings the community together, it’s a fun day out for the family, and it provides people with an outlet to compete and exhibit across the various competition categories,” she said.
“There’s a draw for kids with a chance to win a bike at 4pm.
“There will be two bikes someone can win.
“Any child who pays to get into the show up to the age of primary school will get an entry into those bikes.
“We’ve also got a Lego competition and display, which is a big draw for kids and adults.
“We’ve had that for three years now, and it keeps getting bigger and bigger.”
