At Wonthaggi Aggi (aka The Bass Coast Summer Agricultural Show) they come in all shapes ans sizes. And why wouldn't they when it is $5.00 for a late entry. When all are complaining about the cost of showing, the Agricultural shows represent good value. Even in the jumping ring, which sadly had to be cancelled this year due to the resurfacing of the jumping arena the entry fees range from $5.00 to $12.00 which represents good value if you have a truckload of youngsters. All with excellent watered arenas.
