While many of our much-loved country shows have had to cancel because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Tenterfield has pushed ahead will have an action-packed day on Saturday.
It will be officially opened by Lismore MP Janelle Saffin, and she congratulated show society president Matt Duff and three vice presidents Peter Petty, Michael Maher and John Willcocks on bucking the trend.
“Show society secretary Robyn Murray tells me 1919 was the only year the show has not gone ahead and that was because the showground was being used as a quarantine camp during the Spanish flu pandemic,” Ms Saffin said.
