Texas Show 2024

President’s Welcome Message

The 2024 Texas Show is upon us, and on behalf of the show committee I would like to welcome everyone from the Texas region, our visitors, competitors, and exhibitors to the 63rd Annual show. Much of the vibe of our show can be attributed to our seasons and with a cracking start to 2024 we are in for one hell of a weekend. Our dedicated show committee has preparations well underway for an exciting action packed and fun filled Saturday and Sunday.

We are thrilled to have our junior show girls Maddi and Mikayla back continuing their work of promoting Ag shows, assisting over the weekend and selling tickets to the pig race cal-cutter.

Saturday starts with a flurry of events getting under way. Starting with the 2-day campdraft, ring events, dressage and the 2-day yard dog trials. Whilst all of this is going on we will be entertained by the pig races, rockwall, sideshow alley and the exciting Jet Pack Man.

Take a breather at lunch time and visit the Whyalla Beef BBQ, who have been one of the shows biggest supporters and try one of their famous “Big One” burger, while having a cool drink from the bar next door.

Once you are refreshed and fed, slip by the pavilion to enjoy the arts and crafts created by the locals and the fabulous produce, livestock & fibre from this fantastic part of the world. Get over to the Honky Tonk Rodeo to watch the thrills and spills of the talented bull and bronc riders trying to master their steeds. Following the Rodeo, we bring the fireworks and laser show to life for the kids, big and small. After which we welcome this year’s band “The Planktons” to the stage to take us late into the night where we get to catch up with friends and bop the night away around the bon fire.

Sunday is another fun filled day with the finals of the campdraft and yard dog trials. The pig races and Jet Pack Man are back, plus the dog show competition, pushbike, motorbike challenge and ute competition. If that’s not enough excitement, get your team together for the highly contested Texan Challenge followed by the ever-popular wood chop. And we round out this fantastic weekend with the draw of the lucky gate prize at 3:45pm.

I would like to thank the Texas Show Committee, our fantastic sponsors, supports, volunteers and hard-working event stewards for bringing this Texas Show together. Your efforts demonstrate that famous Texas community spirit.

I invite you to come down to your local show, to catch up with friends and family and explore what your community has on show and to offer. Enjoy.
