✨ WOW… what a weekend at the Dirranbandi Show Campdraft! ✨

We are still blown away by the incredible support, effort, and community spirit that made this year one of our biggest and best yet — with over 300 competitors nominating! 👏🐎

A massive thank you to everyone who contributed cattle throughout the weekend —
Barry Smith, Rob Hemming, Doug Hemming & PJ Cookson — we truly couldn’t run without you.

Our Kids Clinic was a huge success, with 19 kids taking part! A big thank you to PJ, Sarah Cookson & Sarah Cooper for running the clinic, and to everyone who helped make the day possible.

We were also lucky to have Libby Price come in and deliver a fantastic vet talk for the kids 🐴

🍸 Huge thanks to Kate Hemming, along with Charlotte Russell & Zara Knights, for running the cocktail bar — you girls did an amazing job!

📊 A special thank you to Jackie Hemming for helping run scores all weekend — we couldn’t do it without you!

🎤 To Steve Burnett, thank you for keeping the weekend running smoothly on the mic — we hope you’re enjoying a well-earned rest (and a throat lozenge or two!).
And to Campbell Duff, thank you for stepping in so Steve could sneak away for a well-deserved date at the luncheon ❤️

🍽️ A big thank you to the CWA ladies and luncheon  who provided food across the weekend — your efforts kept everyone going!
