I promise I will not name winners of any classes within the Pavilion exhibition at the Robbo Show. Results are not to be published until the 2011 Robbo Show opens tomorrow morning.
Something for the Environmentalists amongst us.
The Germ of Life - a potato shoot
But I cannot resist showing some of the funniest Vegetable Animal creations you're ever likely to see.
Lucy the Rock 'n Roll, Droopy-eared Rabbit (with Carrot Guitar).
Dorothy the Dinosaur, I believe.
The Smiling Egg Plant
The Drunken Aussie Day Spud
passed out, still wearing his flag (on his hat).
And now for some more general shots from the Robbo Show Pavilion.
School Kids Art Exhibition
A Chinese Cabbage in a glass jar - to keep it fresh.
It certainly looks good enough to eat.
Just as well I am not a Judge in the Vegies Section
This looks like the perfect Cabbage to me.
Not ridiculously large, just crisp and round and fresh.
The serious part of the Pavilion display - the Produce section.
(My own assessment only)
Artists, photographers, cooks, jam and preserves makers,
and cut flower and floral artists
might all line up to beat me to a pulp for that comment.
The second rack of Produce exhibits.
The Robbo Show gets under way tomorrow morning (Friday)
with Cattle and other animals, and horse riding events
and continues on Saturday, with Ring events, and
general entertainments, the famous Spud Race,
and concludes with the Demolition Derby and Firework display.
(Please keep your pets safely inside
on Saturday night when the Fireworks go off).

As one would expect from Robertson - spuds, spuds and more spuds. Wonderful!
And Cabbages!
I didn't show the cut flowers, cakes and Jams and Preserves!
A genuine country show.
That's why I love it.
Thanks for the comment!
Cheers

Those are fun vege creations! It sounds like a great show - like the ones I remember from small towns when I was a child and everyone knew everyone else!
wish i was there ...
Hi Catmint,
As someone who loves pure Vegies, you would be delighted with the standard of the local growers' efforts.
Cheers

Hi Mick
It is very much like that.
Friendly, good-natured rivalry, but not madly competitive.
Lots of fun entries too.
Cheers
Denis
Love the Aussie day spud, very funny. Robertson has lots of wonderful food. I had some beautiful Feta cheese from the Small Cow Farm once and that has made me want to pay a visit, not made it there yet though, maybe this holiday weekend would be a good time!
Hi Hazel
Our Show is only on Friday and Saturday, so if you are coming up - best hurry.
Failing that, Robbo will still be here.
Small Cow Farm has great cheeses.
.
If you make the trip, I would be delighted to meet you.
My email is on my Blog profile.
Cheers

Hi Denis, looks like I will miss the show, shame as it looks fab. Hope to get to Robertson one day if not this weekend - will email when I do, it would be fun to meet a fellow nature blogger!
