The Sydney Royal Easter Show 2013

We caught the train to The  Sydney Royal Easter Show onThursday. It was a rather warm day ( compared to past Easter shows which were usually later in April and cooler). I always love the excitement of the Show-- there is a special feeling there. Thankfully, we did not have to go into the crowded Showbag pavilion this time as we did not have any little children with us. ( when our kids were little, this was the first place they wanted to go to, and then we would have all these huge show bags to carry around with us for the rest of the day!).

Here are the photos taken at the Show.


Entrance to the Show
 
An interesting turkey
 
Cows waiting to be milked
 
Some of the quilts in the Craft pavilion
 
Folk art items
 
My proud moment!( Had to put it in again!!)

Beautiful embroidery
 
Gorgeous miniature works of art
 
Pig racing-- cutest little pigs wearing tutus
 
My favourite-- wood chopping competition
 
 
 
The fruit and vegetable displays
 
I thoroughly enjoyed the day and am looking forward to going to the Easter Show again next year.
