The Kyabram Show is set to transform the Kyabram Showgrounds at 390 Allan St on Saturday, October 18.
Kyabram AH&P Society Inc secretary Filipa Marshall has confirmed the return of the beloved animal nursery, alongside an exciting new attraction, Dinkum Dinosaurs.
“We are having Dinkum Dinosaurs, which is a dinosaur puppet show, that will run over four different time slots over the day,” she said.
“With the dinosaur puppet show, they also have dinosaurs of a size that kids can sit on and have their photo taken.”

Building on last year’s success, which saw “more than 500 dogs of all different breeds”, the renowned dog show returns as a highlight.
The agricultural heritage shines through with displays of horses, cattle, and goats, with Filipa particularly enthusiastic about the introduction of “an all-breeds beef show”.
“We have the pavilion craft, which again will be free entry for people, free entry to any of the pavilion categories,” Filipa said.
“We will have the young ambassador and rural ambassador competition and we are looking for people either under 18 or 18 to 30, who feel that they could represent the area to put their best foot forward and enter.
“The young ambassador and rural ambassador are great opportunities for young people to represent their community and the region.”
Those interested in pavilion entries need to submit by the Wednesday before the show.
In a fresh take on tradition, the show introduces fashions on the field for all age groups, replacing the previous showgirl competition.
“Fashion on the field starts with an under-12 months category and goes up to the over-40s,” Filipa said.
“Everyone can come along in their best outfit and possibly win fashion on the field.”
The success of the event hinges on community involvement, with about 60 volunteers serving as stewards across different sections.
“It is a huge community effort, which is pretty awesome,” Filipa said.
“We can't do the Kyabram Show without the support of the community, whether it be volunteers, or the lots of different sponsors.”
There will be printed schedules available around Kyabram, but instead of printing hundreds of them, postcards with a QR code will be used, allowing people to scan and access the schedule online.
