UPDATE ON THE 2012 MUDGEE SHOW What
a great year to be planning a show!
The
program is filling up so fast and the show is going to be
huge!
It’s exciting that we have so many new buildings to
take advantage of; that will also help to guarantee a fantastic
show.
To
kick it off, there's the full points rodeo on Friday
night. It's so big, we've even had to include separate
pages in the schedule. Like last year, it will
be held in the new sand arena, with the bar close
by! Essential Energy, our generous sponsors, and the
organisers, have a great event ready for you. The
number of world renowned cowboys and cowgirls who
will be in attendance is overwhelming!
Main Arena activities will include the Ute Muster,
Sheep Dog Demonstrations, the Ute
Yank, Wool Bale Rolling,
and inspirational performances by local dance schools:
REPS, Dance Unlimited and Dance with Attitude.

WILDLIFE
KINGDOM
AS SEEN ON THE KERRI-ANNE SHOW <view
on You Tube>
Wildlife Kingdom is a business dedicated to educating the
public about wildlife and conservation through exciting
and interactive displays and presentations. Robert and Belinda
have collectively over 25 years experience within the exotic
animal industry worldwide and have both held supervisory
positions in large animal establishments here in Australia.
Wildlife Kingdom is a one of a kind mobile animal business
featuring some of the world’s most fascinating and
spectacular creatures. Featured at this year’s show
are the “Large Macaws of South America” display.
These giant parrots, native to South America, are known
universally for their spectacular colours and size. Diego,
a 2 yr old Green-winged Macaw, and Jose the 1 yr old Blue
& Gold Macaw, were bred here in Australia and are wonderful
ambassadors for their species, highlighting the plight of
endangered animals all over the world. Wildlife Kingdom
acquired these birds as young fledglings and have spent
many hours training and conditioning them for public presentations
and interactive experiences.
A limited number of guests at the show are given the opportunity
to get up close and personal with these magnificent macaws
with a photo souvenir to take home.
Yes,
there's certainly plenty to do that won't cost you a pay
packet, so come along with the whole family and enjoy all
there is to offer at the 2012 Mudgee Show.
SEE
YOU AT THE SHOW!
