Port Macquarie : Wauchope show makes a comeback in 2022
"We just wish Mother Nature was better to us" The Wauchope show made a comeback in 2022, celebrating the community, the region and the agricultural sector, after a hiatus due to COVID.

News Story Summary:

Organisers have vowed not to let the rain spoil the big return of the Wauchope Show.

Wauchope Show Society president Neil Coombes said it was great to see all the new infrastructure being used at Wauchope Showground.

"We just wish Mother Nature was better to us," Mr Coombes said.

Rain effected the level of show entries and the trotting events on Saturday and the woodchop were called off as a result of the wet conditions.

But Mr Coombes said the community feedback about the show was positive.

"The Wauchope Show brought the community together" he said.

The 2022 show attracted a record level of sponsorship.

The 'Big Pumkin':

Records tumbled as Vanessa Scott was awarded first place in the Wauchope Show fruit and vegetable section's 'Best heavy pumpkin' category with her pumpkin estimated to weigh in at about 40 kilograms.

Mrs Scott grew the pumpkin from seed.

"About October, November last year it started to grow, this pumpkin kept growing and growing," she said.

It took two people to carry the pumpkin into the showground pavilion.

This was the first year that Mrs Scott entered vegetables in the Wauchope Show but the Scott family has visited the show each year.

Mrs Scott thanked her husband Tony for building the vegetable garden and for his support in her vegetable growing endeavours.

William Ashton won the second prize in the fruit and vegetable section's best heavy pumpkin, any other variety class.
