28th Dinninup Show Shines With Postwar Revival
Ideal weather drew a large crowd to Dinninup for the 28th Show. Attendance and exhibits rose to prewar levels with notable cattle and sheep displays and a record number of motor vehicles. Sir James Mitchell opened the event praising modern machinery and the plough as a wealth creator. The society presented funds from Upper Blackwood and the Lotteries Commission to the Road Board. An elegant escort by riders of both sexes impressed the Governor. Local officials delivered votes of thanks as President H J Blechynden credited exhibitors and committees for a successful day. Judge D Cornwall praised the prize lot, declaring it among the best in 160 years. Additional prize winners included Mrs Russell, Valerie Parker, and G Bunny. About fifteen side shows entertained a large crowd. Pioneer visitor Doug Moore, the society’s first secretary, attended. Full judge results to follow next issue.
