The President's Message
President’s Message 2026
Well it is now 2026 and yes 2025 brought another great Show, with plenty of attractions for adults and children, and a lot of “freebies” but we are happy to say that the 2026 is shaping up to be another successful event.
I would sincerely like to personally thank all members of the Committee, plus our very dedicated, hardworking and enthusiastic volunteers, and at the helm of course, we have two main personnel, Jan McKenna our Secretary. What Jan does for this show, well words just cannot explain the enormity of this, and together with Jenni Delany, our ever efficient Treasurer, we certainly have a great crew, but our doors are always open for extra volunteers.
On show day and the days leading up to the Show, Jan is ably helped by Merrilyn Strachan and we value your assistance.
Also we must thank our stewards, sponsors and exhibitors, these we value highly, and we thank you for your contribution.
A big thank you also to all judges, this is not the easiest of jobs, but you all do it to a high standard.
Our Animal Nursery, we realise how this is such an important attraction at our Show, and this will have to be addressed in regard to “filling” it for this year’s Show.
Once again Sara, thank you always great to see that spectacle of horses trotting around in the arena of our showgrounds, doing their thing.
And now we have to do it all again, so we can bring to you the Community, another highly successful show of 2026.
Well our microphone man, Brian Brennan, had the big 90 on our actual Show Day in 2025, and he has since retired. On behalf of myself and the Show committee, we thank him for the role he played here on Show Day for many years and wish him all the best in the future and a happy retirement.
So once again thanks to all and bring it on for 2026.
Norm Wales APM, JP

A huge thank you to Willett Transport
Corowa P A & H Society were successful in applying for a pallet of toys and dog products from AgShows NSW that were being offered prior to Christmas.
Dave Moore and Scott Willett from Willett Transport Corowa were only too happy to transport the pallet from Wagga Wagga Showgrounds to us here in Corowa.
These toys were donated to St Vinnies in Corowa and they were distributed to children in Corowa. The dog products were donated to Dunroamin Pet Rescue Albury.
