First for show

THIS year will mark the first time the “Great Aussie Bread Waiter’s Race” will be held at the Pakenham Show.
Show secretary Val Lucas admits that she “pinched” the idea from the Whittlesea Show and has high hopes the event will be just as popular in Pakenham.
The event requires entrants to carry a dozen bread rolls on a tray in one hand and a cup of water in the other while running 50 metres to a flag and back again.
Whoever still has all their rolls and the most water by the end wins a prize.
All ages over seven years old are eligible to enter in their category.
Competitors can sign up on the day at the secretary’s office and entry is free.
