The Gosford Regional Show will return to Gosford Showground from April 14 to 15.
“A traditional agricultural show serving the Central Coast and beyond, the 2017 Show was deemed a great success by all involved.
“Over 7,000 visitors attended the two action-packed days and special Saturday evening spectacular; bringing an estimated turnover of over $150,000 into the local economy,” Gosford Trust Chair and Show Committee member, Ms Roma Stonestreet, said.
“Your local Show, now 129 years young, is very much a unique event.
“The relaxed family friendly and fun atmosphere provides a great opportunity for promotion of local business to a wide audience.
“The Committee’s goal is to build on that success in 2018 and grow this historic event going forward,” she said.
Presented by the Show Committee of the Gosford Showground Trust for the past 25 years, the Show features a Sales/Expo area, varied agricultural competitions and displays, a two-day family entertainment program, fairground attractions, an animal nursery, international food vendors and some great featured attractions.
