Northern Rivers community members and visitors are invited to come along and enjoy this year’s Elders North Coast National Lismore Show, to be held 17-19 October.
North Coast National A&I Society President John Gibson said the show would return with all the usual favourites, as well as new attractions like Pop Zone.
‘Every year, the show evolves and this year I am happy to announce we will be hosting Pop Zone, including Cosplay, for the first time. It is where fantasy and imagination rule,’ he said.
‘I am also happy to announce that this year, we will also host prestigious National and State Woodchop titles, attracting the best contestants from across the country and state. This year we also have a Chill and Charge zone, which is a quiet zone for people to relax and recharge themselves and their phones.’
Show time
Other attractions in Lismore this October will include the Ashton circus, performing every day, live music and monster trucks.
‘The very popular FMX bikes will return, along with a petting zoo, a Lego competition for schools, reptiles, jet packs, fireworks and a community stage with a range of local acts. The Show has been at the heart of our community since 1885 and is where memories are made,’ said Mr Gibson.
‘I invite everyone to come along this year to catch up with old friends and make new ones. Once again, I would like to thank our naming rights sponsor, Elders, and all our sponsors. Without them, the Show could not go on.’
