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.
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]
