So this year it is going to be in Belling Hall at the show ground, which is next to the main pavilion.
I have up 20 stalls in my lifestyle pavilion and everything is for ladies (of cause men are welcome, too) and this year I have a variety of goods like make-up, Wagga Breast Cancer Ladies with all their pink goodies, Tupperware, Lorraine Linen, jewellery, baby dolls, just a few of the stalls.
We are using Belling Hall because the Junee Show Committee were able to secure a grant to improve the hall, which is all finished and looking great.

Common sense needed
I read with interest the article about Bill Shorten and the mayor Greg Conkey on October 5, apparently discussing flood mitigation and damage.
Here's an idea to help save our money and ailing levee around Wagga.
Don't build a high-rise harness racing facility on the flood plain. This facility will be built higher than Wagga's levee bank and push about 100 acres of flood water onto Wagga's levee.
Simple mitigation, you don't need a conference, you need common sense.

Political backflip dog act
Today is a sad day not only for the thousands of dogs who will now continue to suffer in this cruel and unjustifiable industry, but also for democracy.
The state government has acted on speculation about its polling numbers and pressure from individuals who gain financially from this abusive industry, and ignored the vast majority of NSW constituents who abhor the inherit brutality of greyhound racing.
The premier may think he is saving his political future, but they say fortune favours the brave and in this case, Mr Baird has shown he is anything but.

Control a Hillary issue
HILLARY Clinton is saying that she is the only one who can control things and be trusted to do the right thing and, voting Donald Trump into the White House is akin to letting a fox loose in a hen’s pen.
However, she didn’t display much control over hubby Bill when he made his many amorous sorties into numerous hen pens when he was president.

Basin plan hurts jobs
Recent findings into the social and economic impacts of water recovery through the Murray-Darling Basin Plan in the northern basin show job losses of up to 21 per cent. That’s right – up to one in five people have lost their job as a direct result of the basin plan.
This is not acceptable in rural Australia and certainly would not be tolerated by our city cousins, and nor should it be. Every job is valuable, regardless of where you live.
The Murray-Darling Basin Authority chief executive officer, Phillip Glyde, has recently acknowledged that the original modelling in 2012 was not able to provide localised impacts through water recovery.
With this new information, is it time to reassess the plan and work out better ways of achieving environmental goals?
What if we can make changes to the plan which still achieve environmental outcomes, while at the same time reinvigorating our rural and regional communities by putting them in a better position to take advantage of increased global demand for produce?
