A bigger and better show

Key points

• The Royal Geelong Show returns to the Geelong Showgrounds for four days from 15 to 18 October, with family activities, entertainment and animals. President Tom McCann says this year's show will be bigger and better, with new competitions and a wider range of pavilions, livestock and arena attractions.
• The shearing competition has been revitalised, and a mural has been painted on the sheep shed. Fireworks will follow the evening arena show on Friday and Saturday nights.
• The show is run by volunteers, and McCann thanked them for their work.
