2012 is the Australian Year of the Farmer (AYOF), promoted by the National Farmers Federation and has Elders as founding sponsor.

The Westpac Cooma Show will celebrate the Year of the Farmer by making it the theme of the show for 2012. You will see historic farming implements and engines, a gumboot decorating competition, the Schools Exhibits featuring farming, a "Most Loved Oilskin" competition plus many more attractions and events following the theme. The AYOF Roadshow Exhibit will also be at the Show.

ABC South East Radio will be broadcasting live from the Show, so come along and see how its all done.

Of course there will also be the best of Monaro's stock and produce in our many pavilions which will all hotly vie for prizes. Other competitions on the day will be the Yard Dogs, Woodchop and horse events.

We will also entertain you by bringing back the Patting Paddock for the littlies, the Snakeman and Gold Panning. As well as a few surprises.

We look forward to seeing at The Show.
