THE November Mansfield Show is the ideal place to pitch the skills and talents of our rural community and a chance to participate in statewide competitions run by VAS (Victorian Agricultural Shows) Ltd.
“Showing their commitment to our local show, prize-winning competitors will represent Mansfield at the Central & Upper Goulburn Group finals to be held on Sunday April 21 in Seymour,” said Mansfield A&P Society’s president Amanda Swaney.
This year Jess Andrews is the society’s junior ambassador entrant and Nicci Teigte is the rural ambassador representative; both are keen horsewomen.
“They will compete against other finalists from the north and central regions of Victoria,” said Ms Swaney.
“Jess and Nicci will be interviewed by a panel of judges on agricultural matters, and about their involvement in the Mansfield and other shows,” she said.

“Elsewhere at the group finals, the Mansfield prize winners will be presenting their cakes, needlework and photography for judging.
“The winners of these sections will then proceed to the Royal Melbourne Show competitions,” Ms Swaney said.
The finals also include group only qualifiers in other categories which are separate to the VAS competitions.
Judging gets underway this Sunday morning at Kings Park, Seymour.
