THE 2025 Moree Show, with more than 150 sponsors digging deep and getting behind the huge event, this year offers plenty to see and do over two days of non-stop entertainment and action.
The Friday-Saturday, April 25-26 Moree Show will feature V8 Trackskill Utes, demolition derby, woodchopping competition and the show-stopping Gill Bros Rodeo on Friday night.
The Trackskill Utes, sponsored this year by Moree Services Club and Whiddon, presents three shows – Friday at 5pm, with two shows on Saturday at 4pm and 7pm.
There is also a chance for members of the public to take a ride in the Trackskill utes, simply by registering names at the secretary’s office any time Saturday.
Six names will be drawn from a hat to win the ultimate Trackskill experience.
For the brave and intrepid, there will be a live snake display, and for the cute and adorable, a family pet show.
Out in the ring, there will be horse and showjumping events, including team penning on Sunday, April 27, as well as the ever-popular yard-dog trials.
The Young Farmers’ Challenge, sponsored by RDO Equipment and McGregor Gourlay and supported by Young Aggies Moree, will be held at 5pm, Saturday.
The Compressed Air Light and Power-sponsored Demolition Derby on Saturday night after the fireworks offers $1000 prize money, with scrutineering from midday Saturday in the north-western corner of the showground.
