AN EXCITING HISTORY COMES ALIVE

6/16/2013

1 Comment

 
I'm really excited about a new project I've been given - a book about the history of a Sydney show society that dates back pretty well to Captain Arthur Phillip in 1788! 

The first St Ives show was in 1921 and featured a ploughing match, melon race, wood chopping and sawing plus exhibits of local produce. 

At this first show an orchardist won first prize for his farm produce display - he had popped his baby daughter in a basket surrounded by an attractive display of his fruit and vegetables - "a device which, according to other competitors, helped him to win!"
