The 36th Annual Kununurra Agricultural Show is looking like it will be the biggest and best ever.
Last year, Kununurra's biggest two-day event was an unmitigated success with 5824 people passing through the gates.

It would seem the Agricultural Society's massive entertainment budget paid dividends yet again and this year the budget is even bigger with new acts, yet to be announced.

Efforts are underway to procure top acts both for the children and adults.

Entertainment will be nearly non-stop from the time the gates open on Friday, July 11, until they close late on Saturday night.

Perennial favourite - the fireworks - are planned for both nights of the show.

Entertainment planned for this year's show includes a feast of incredible local talent from the various dancing, singing and sporting groups and much, much more.

Entertainment director Fiona Kuiper wants to have more ‘roving entertainment’ including clowns and stilt-walkers.

Approaches are being made to get larger and more lavish rides for this year with a few of the old favourites such as the dodgems back as well.

Along with that, there will be all the usual thrills and prizes of sideshow alley.

Businesses and government agencies are again planning impressive displays and the standard of pavilion entries is expected to be excellent.

The photographic section last year was magnificent and even more entries are expected this year.

The show is two weeks early again this year to fit in with the NT Show Circuit.

The horse events were of a high standard last year and organisers are hoping to attract even more riders from the NT.

The Ute Competition and vehicle displays will again feature an abundance of vehicles and are certain to attract plenty of interest.

One of the highlights of the Saturday program will again be the dog show with categories for best purebreds, best crossbreds and novelty classes such as the smiliest dog and the best wagging tail.

There will also be the dog novelty event with owners able to show off their pooch's abilities over a 'not too difficult' novelty course.

The Melon Olympics will be a real crowd-pleaser with such events as melon skating and melon eating.

The big boys (and girls) will again strut their stuff in the tug-o-war.

As in past years, there will be a very large area set aside for carnival, games and rides as well as the many food and craft stalls.

Entries in the cattle and horticulture sections are expected to be of a very high standard.

With the backing of the Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley, the garden section is expected to be hotly contested again.

The committee is working on introducing new classes for things such as sandalwood.
