Future of Toodyay Agricultural Show depends on committed supporters
By Alison Wroth & Karen Dore
AFTER the successful celebration of our 170th Anniversary Toodyay Agricultural Show last year, we hope you’re as excited as we are for another wonderful event – don’t worry, it’s coming up quickly!
The future of agricultural shows, including ours, depends on the passion and commitment of the generations who support them.
The history of the Toodyay Agricultural Society, and the enduring presence of the Show, keeps families – both old and new – returning year after year, along with visitors who come to experience this unique tradition.
The Toodyay Showgrounds themselves are part of the attraction, with their historical exhibition pavilion and purpose-built buildings designed by farmers and Committee members of years long past.
For many locals, the Show holds deep sentimental value, creating cherished memories of fireworks viewed from the oval, thrilling show rides, reunions with friends and the special evening ambience.
These are memories that we know should continue to be created, they are worth preserving and passing on to future generations.
To ensure the continued success of this historic event, we need the support of community members who are willing to lend a hand.
Whether you’re interested in joining the Committee, learning how the Show is organised, or simply helping during Show Week, your involvement will provide invaluable stability, steadiness and energy to our Society.
If you’re interested in being part of Toodyay’s oldest community tradition, we invite you to our “Get Involved Gig!” on Saturday 8 February, from 1pm to 3pm in the Youth Hall at the Toodyay Showgrounds.
Our 2025 AGM will follow shortly after on Monday 10 February, at 7pm, also in the Youth Hall. Join us for a cuppa and nibbles before or after the meeting.
Let’s come together to celebrate our history and build a bright future for the Toodyay Show.
We can’t wait to see you!
