The dates are set, we have held our Think Tank event to gather feedback and new ideas for the 2024 Monto Show. Stewards are beginning to look at their sections and we will be publishing Class Lists as they are received and confirmed to assist you in getting your entries ready. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram to keep updated.
We hold a General Meeting each month on the first Thursday, all members and interested parties are welcome to attend. This meeting is held in the the Pavillion and begins at 7pm. Come along and add your skills, talents and enthusiasm to this great community event. New Memberships are open now until 5pm on the 31 March. No new memberships will be accepted between then and the Monto Show. Download your application here
Our theme is "Then & Now" Celebrating Monto's Centenary and the Industries that made us. We believe that the Monto Show has always been a great showcase of the industries in our area. Each year we give our community the chance to show us all what they do so well, industries showcased now are the beef, timber, poultry, lucerne, grain, our incredible horse riding talents as well as our creative industries such as photography, art and cooking. The home industries in this region and the skill that goes into the handicraft, the gardening wisdom showcased in horticulture, fruit and vegetables is astounding. Our upcoming generations are always encouraged to particpate across all the sections.
We are looking forward to a great 2024 event, come along and Show Us what you do best Monto.
