17.01.2022 As a fast moving society, we are always looking for new and exciting ways to ensure our event continues to excel into the future for further generations to enjoy. The addition of Agriexpo to our name will assist us to progressively market and attract new commercial exhibitors to our ever-growing event as well as engage with more agricultural based attractions for our patrons to enjoy.

17.01.2022 **DIRECT FROM HOBART COME EPONAS HORSE ARCHERS*** Horse archery has its basis in ancient warfare and hunting, now it is a martial art growing rapidly worldwide. The horse is taught to calmly accept the shooting of a weapon at close range and keep a steady pace down the archery range. The rider must learn to shoot a traditional bow from an unstable platform, aiming the arrow instinctively with no sights or pulleys. Plus, it is so much fun!

07.01.2022 ***Thank you to our Tri Ribbon Naming rights sponsor McGrath & Co Lawyers*** The McGrath Family have a long history of service to the families of the North-West Coast of Tasmania in the fields of medicine, pharmacy and law. For the past 100 years McGraths have been in practice as professionals in Burnie. The current premises at 5 Cattley Street have operated as a law firm since 1952 brothers Frank and Jimmy McGrath commenced the firm of McGrath & McGrath.... In the early 1990s Franks son Paul McGrath joined the firm which became McGrath & Co Lawyers. Following the death of Frank in 2000, Paul continued to operate the firm and is ably assisted by both legal practitioners and exercised law clerks and assistants. McGrath & Co is proud of its connections to the North West Coast and its deeply Tasmanian roots but continues to embrace advances in both law and technology to ensure its clients are obtaining the best possible service and advice. In 2013 McGrath & Co incorporated the firm of Crisp Hudson & Mann, another proudly Tasmanian firm with deep connections to the North West Coast. The histories of both McGrath & Co and Crisp Hudson commence as law firms in the early days of Burnie during the late 1800s. See more

02.01.2022 ***WHY DO FARMERS BRING THEIR ANIMALS TO OUR SHOW?*** There is 3 main reasons why farmers choose to bring their animals to an agricultural show 1. Industry Awareness. Agricultural shows may be the only place that consumers will see a live cow, sheep, goat or in fact any form of livestock up close. We get to ag-vocate for our industries, answer questions and tell our story to the community. As farmers, we believe we have a responsibility to educate others on how safe and ...nutritious our products are for you. 2. Livestock Promotion. Farmers who breed registered stock use agricultural shows to showcase their best animals and genetics. A prized animal and her progeny will gain additional value and reputation from winning at an agricultural show. 3. Networking. Sometimes, agricultural shows are the only opportunities we have to leave the farm, becoming our version of a family holiday. This is also a time to visit with our friends who also exhibit and network with other individuals in the livestock field, sharing ideas and learning experiences that benefit all involved. For our holiday, we choose to exhibit livestock instead of going to the beach for a week.
