Balmoral’s Sheep and Wool Show has been given the go ahead for later this month despite the cancellation of the Balmoral Show as a whole.
Construction on Balmoral Recreation Reserve to build a new community centre has forced Balmoral Pastoral and Agricultural Society to shelve its annual show this year.
Instead, the society will only present its popular sheep and wool show on February 29.
Society president John Silcock said having just the sheep and wool show, one of the largest merino sheep shows in Victoria, would help keep interest in Balmoral Show for its planned return in 2021.
