February is here and it’s almost time for the Foster & District Agricultural show, on Saturday the 28th of February 2026!

We have some excellent events running this year that we’d love to encourage you to enter, with some great prizes up for grabs.

Schreurs Scarecrow Competition

Get creative to make the most unique garden protector you can think of! We encourage the use of recycled materials, and love to hear the stories behind your scarecrow creation. Entry is free, with prizes including sashes to third place, first prize $75 and a veggie box and second prize $25 – you’ve got to be in it to win it! With a class specifically for school groups, and your scarecrow entries displayed on show day with the Giant Pumpkins, it’s a great competition to get involved in. 

Giant Pumpkin Growing Competition

Didn’t grow any big pumpkins this year? No worries! Why not get involved in our Best decorated pumpkin competition?! Your pumpkin can be of any variety and decorated in any way. Have a favourite singer or band, favourite movie or tv show character? Let your imagination run wild! Free entry, sashes to third place, first prize $100, second prize $50.
