HCVC
100TH YEAR AGRICULTURAL SHOW
- Quairading By Kevin Toovey

The HCVC went out to Quairading recently to help them celebrate their 100th Agricultural Show.
Quairading a small country town had reached a milestone as far as agriculture shows goes.
The organisers had a big line up with the variety to suit all ages. They managed to attract some show rides, not a easy task when you are any distance out of Perth and with a small population.
They had also organised guest speakers during the day to attract different interest groups. Sabrina Hahn spoke on gardening and Caroline Taylor for cooking demonstrations.
Another highlight was the sheep dog trail demonstration where you were able to watch the highly trained dogs take a small mob of sheep between the stalls, displays and people.
And of course we had vintage trucks, tractors and machinery, that’s why we were there. Thanks to the Quairading Ag Society for the invitation.
Some of the HCVC members whomade the trip out there and enjoyed the day
The nice looking Viking and the Ford water truck. Note the local Quairading number plates.

The Mounted Police were handing out stickers to kids who were brave enough to pat the horse.
Right: A Corn grister driven by the horse. They were not actually gristing corn as it is very hard seed, they were using oats as it is softer on the machinery parts and as the owner said it is hard to find spare parts if anything breaks or when it wears out Vintage speedway motorbikes
