GOVERNOR GENERAL HELPS CELEBRATE 150 YEARS OF MAITLAND SHOW

Despite the heat, thousands turned out in Maitland today to be a part of the region’s 150th show.

Governor General Quentin Bryce paid a visit to help mark the milestone, and was welcomed with a guard of honour from the 16th Light Horse Regiment.

For those looking for slightly less stately thrills, the monster trucks proved a real crowd pleaser.

While it’s an extra special event in all for this year’s Maitland Showgirl, Hannah Fraser.

“I am so excited it’s the 150th year so it is just an absolute honour to be representing Maitland.”
