THE Kendall Showgrounds came alive with country traditions and modern entertainment from 25-26 October, as crowds flocked to the 74th Camden Haven Show.
The annual event was officially inaugurated during the grand parade by Camden Haven Show Society life member Pam McLeod, who said she was “delighted to have this honour”.
The show program was jam-packed with an extensive lineup of activities, stalls and performances offering something for everyone to enjoy.
Showgoers had the opportunity to explore impressive pavilion displays overflowing with local produce and art, watch death-defying circus performances, or simply observe the ring events which received a notable increase in horse entries.
Piglet races made a much-anticipated return to show proceedings, while the demolition derby proved an adrenaline-pumping finale.

“The show was so much fun,” Lacey said.
“I normally only participate in the horse events but this year decided to enter in the junior photography and junior floral gumboot arrangement.
“I placed in both classes and my sporting events and I am really looking forward to my photography session with Blair Montague Drake.
“I will definitely be entering in even more pavilion classes next year and encouraging my friends to as well.”
