Rutherglen Agricultural Show is the last remaining event of its kind in the Indigo Shire and every effort is made to retain the traditions of the country show. An extensive horse program is available with show jumping, pony events, harness horse competitions and Clydesdales.
A special feature of the show for many years has been the "Beef and Lamb Expo" which judges the animals both on the hoof and following slaughter and in 2009 this competition was extended to also include a feed lot section. Stud cattle and sheep are also included along with fleece and crop competitions and all variety of farm and garden produce. The pavilion exhibits feature of all those traditional country skills of cooking, home preserves, craft and handiwork as well as very popular photography and art sections.
The Rutherglen Show has always catered for the young in the community with junior sections in many categories and all of the local schools support the Show by encouraging student involvement.
Regular features at the Rutherglen Show include showgirl and tiny tot competitions, band music, reptile display, petting zoo, Pet parade, vintage machinery display, ferret racing and horse and dog handling exhibition. This is a great country show with something for everyone.
