The North Coast National Lismore Show is well underway and we catch some of the action!

The laneways are packed with people and lots of school children, screams come from the main ring and the jetpack pool. Music emanates from the rides and you can hear the calls of the sideshows tempting folk with their wares.

Tara Coles the announcer at the show and showgirl escort, was with the showgirls at the woodchop event. Tara said, “The show's been busy here today and the weather's good too.  

“The girls have been out and about learning all about poultry, doing the axe throwing, which was good. As well as that, they've handed out ribbons in the horses and the beef title section.”

The girls are all smiles thinking of all the things they have seen and done today. 

Dominique Wise is the state winner of the Young Woman competition and is very impressed with the North Coast National, “I'd definitely have to say the capacity and involvement of the community here is amazing.   

“It's honestly such a big show - I've done my trips around New South Wales, and Lismore's definitely got it for involving community and competitors as well.”

“I've really enjoyed sashing the beef cattle this morning,” said Maddie.

Rose has started show jumping and loves horses, “My favourite part of the shows today was watching the show jumpers in the horse ring.”

Bella was a little shy, and said, “The favourite part of the show for me was seeing all the people and all the events and just everything.”

There is a very talented face painter making their mark with some creative work.

The spectacle at the circus and the riders in the main ring kept everyone’s mouth open wide!

Be prepared to get damp at the jetpack show! The game of Marco Polo was epic!

Hard decisions and happy smiles at the showbag stand!

You can even make a movie in the Pop Zone Pavillion!

Jacklyn Wagner's new image gallery saw lots of people at Norma's Kitchen. A great place to take a load off your feet and get out of the sun for a bit!

Shiver me timbers! Well these these timber logs should be shivering if they knew their fate in the Australian Wood Chop Championship underway!

There is so much to see and do, there is something for everyone.  

The community parade starts soon - see you at the show!
