Organisers of the Bush Districts Agricultural Club show day are calling it a success.

Held at the Blackwell property beside Mangamaire Community Hall, more than 50 children from eight local schools entered lambs and calves.

Each child was rewarded with at least one ribbon, a certificate, prize bag and a chocolate bar.

Local businesses also contributed to a raffle, which helped cover costs for the day. Sponsors included Farmlands, Farm Source, Ravensdown and Perrin Ag.
