Historic fair’s fun

Watch out for the Ute events at this year's Inglewood Show.

ALL the fun of the fair hits Inglewood this Friday and Saturday 13-14 March for the annual Show.
First held in 1913, the show is a local institution and what’s more admission is free for both days of this year’s event, according to show president Ash Whiley.
Ash said there was a large array of activities and attractions planned.
“Show books can be located on shop counters around Inglewood, at the MacIntyre Gazette in Texas or online,” Ash said.
This year the campdraft looks set to be one of the major events of the show receiving really strong nominations, thanks to improved seasonal conditions.
And while the Show is more than 100 years old, there is always room for something old and something new and this year’s something new is a brand new tractor pull competition, and for those wanting something old there is a vintage machine display.
And watch out for the popular Ute Muster again this year as well as the Ute barrel race and motorbike barrel race and a free rock climbing wall.
Show bags are returning to the Inglewood Show, and there will be plenty of action in the horse events that will include show jumping and sporting events.
And making a welcome return will be the Chainsaw Post Rip as well as the dog and pet parades and the poultry second.
There will be a full complement of cattle and sheep sections and don’t forget all the fun of sideshow alley.
A courtesy bus will operate and the the T-Bone band will play through to midnight on Saturday night after the fireworks.
