The Tullamore PA & H Association Inc. Annual show, or Tullamore Show, is a two-day[2] agricultural and livestock show held on the second Saturday of August each year near the township of Tullamore, New South Wales.[3][4] The 2021 edition was cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions,[3] and the PA & H was one of a group of agricultural societies to receive organisational support from the national Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment.[5][6] There were also no shows in 1940–45.

Event

Apart from the central cattle, sheep and poultry breeding and grooming contests,[7] over the years the event has included horse trials,[8] shearing,[8] sheepdog trial,[9][10] fine wool,[11] trots,[12] crops,[13] baking,[14] and demolition derbies,[15] and children's arts competitions.[16] A "Miss Showgirl" pageant has been held since 1965.[15]
