🌟 What to Expect in the Exhibition Hall

Step into the Exhibition Hall — one of the show’s heartlands — where community skill, creativity and local produce shine. Inside, you’ll discover a wide range of competitive displays and exhibits that celebrate the region’s agricultural, artistic, and home-crafting talents.

🎨 A Rich Variety of Entries

The hall features dozens of categories, including:

• Fresh produce — vegetables, fruit, nuts and other homegrown goods.
• Home-produced items — preserves, jams, pickles, honey, dairy products, home-brew and amateur wines.
• Cooking & baking — homemade cakes, pies, baked goods and other entries from talented local cooks.
• Arts, crafts & handiwork — knitting, crochet, needlework, ceramics, pottery, porcelain work, china painting, and other handmade creations.
• Visual arts — paintings, drawings, and amateur photography.

🏆 Community Spirit & Friendly Competition

Many of the exhibits are part of judged competitions, encouraging local growers, artisans, hobbyists, bakers, photographers and families — including school-aged children — to showcase their talents and creativity.
