✨ Meet the Committee - Introducing Sally Armstrong ✨
The Show has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, with my family's involvement spanning several generations.
I have been Secretary of the Home Industries Auxiliary for around 18 years and currently serve as Cookery Steward. One of the things I enjoy most is learning what judges look for in award-winning exhibits. It's amazing how much attention goes into every detail, from a perfectly baked cake to ensuring the layers of a yo-yo biscuit line up just right!
Community involvement runs in the family. My mother Kathy Armstrong was Craft Steward for many years, my grandmother, Ethel Armstrong, was an inaugural member of the Ladies Auxiliary, and my grandfather, Lindsay Armstrong, served as Show Secretary. Today, the tradition continues with one daughter serving as the current Secretary and my other daughter is a Steward.
Some of my fondest Show memories are from childhood. Every year we would receive a new outfit to wear to the Show and enter the Miss Show Girl competition. Before heading to the showgrounds, we always stopped for a special photo in our new clothes. And, like many children of the time, one of the highlights was coming home with a treasured Cupie Doll.
The Show has given our family generations of wonderful memories, friendships, and opportunities to contribute to our community, and I am proud to continue that tradition.
Sally works hard for our show, and we’re incredibly grateful to have her. Thanks Sally! 👏🏼
