The 126th Benalla Spring Show - the tradition continues
The Benalla Agricultural & Pastoral Society has a proud tradition of moving with the times. The time honoured horse events, animal judging, and art and craft displays always hold their traditional place. The ever changing side show alley, the fun rides and novelty attractions have delighted the young-at-heart for decades. Feature events have been a hallmark of the Spring Show, and this year the crowd was treated to spectacular freestyle performances in BMX (Bicycle Motocross) and FMX (Freestyle Motocross). Benalla's Robbie Adelberg, one of Australia's best FMX riders, along with Luke Stono and Jackson Strong, put on breathtaking displays. Robbie begins an international tour soon. |
