While certain events will go ahead, organisers have taken the difficult decision to scale back the show and exclude spectators.
The Benalla Spring Show is one of Benalla’s longest-running community events, attracting a considerable number of patrons and competitors from all over Victoria and the NSW border region for the annual two-day program.

A show spokesperson said that given the uncertainties and challenges presently faced by the local and wider community, the Benalla A&P Society Committee had made decision to scale back the events at the 2021 spring show.
“On Friday, October 15, the 68th Annual Dog Show will be held as an exhibitor-only event,” the spokesperson said.

“We had a wonderful pavilion competition schedule organised with a great range of fresh, new classes, so we are very disappointed at being unable to run our usual event.
