One of the program highlights is comedy magician Scott Stunz who will entertain on the main stage at noon and 3pm. There will also be roving balloon magic for all the family to enjoy.
The horse arena is always busy on show day but this year the amazing clydesdales will make a comeback from 1pm – joined by the Sandy Creek Clydesdales with their magnificent horses on display. Their blacksmithing demonstrations during the day will take everyone back to days of old.
The main stage will be buzzing throughout the day with local musicians such as local soloist Caylee Jane and the Wesley College student band in the morning and then the zany Ballan Community Street Band for the lunchtime gig.
Mitch Matheson is back again – catch him at 3.30pm.
Animals are always a huge part of any country show and Clunes is no exception.

There’s also Wicked Wildlife, pony rides and ferret racing throughout the day, not to mention the livestock competitions and judging.
The Dog High Jump competition, on at 2pm, is an annual crowd favourite followed by the ladies woodsplit, gumboot throw, keg throw and tug-of-war throughout the afternoon.
