It all starts again this Saturday.
The Perth Royal Show begins at the Claremont Showgrounds from this Saturday the 26th of September until Saturday the 3rd of October.
The Perth Royal Show is Perth’s biggest community event attracting 400 000 visitors from the city and the country every year. It has a history spanning over 170 years and serves to showcase WA agriculture, small business and entertainment.
An interesting element of this year’s show is that it’ll be smoke free. Smokers will have one area within the showgrounds where they can light up while the rest of the event will be free of second hand cigarette smoke. I think it’s a great move forward.
98.5 Sonshine FM will broadcast live from the show each day.
I’m really looking forward to presenting my morning programme from the show each day of next week as well as hosting this Saturday morning.
I’ll have a range of interesting guests and will probably get involved in some weird situations. I may even end up broadcasting from the bumper cars, from the top of the ferris wheel or some other sideshow ride.
If you’re thinking of heading to the show this year, make sure you drop in to our broadcast centre and say hello. We’ve changed locations from previous years. We’ll be overlooking the main arena on the opposite side to the grandstand.
Broadcasting from the show instead of our Como studios will almost double the distance I’ll have to cycle which will be great training for our cancer ride coming up next month.
I’m not convinced that I could eat an ice cream that size all at once … but I’d give it a fairly good try.
