Meet our Young Woman entrants ahead of Saturday’s 2024 Forbes Show

It's Show time for Forbes and all is in readiness for one big day of fun.

Saturday saw the judging of our 2024 Young Woman competition, with two entrants for this year's competition preparing for Show day on Saturday, September 7.

They are Libby Coles, a radiographer, and Peta Allen, Year 12 student.

Susan Earl, who coordinates the competition with Emma Gaffney, said everyone enjoyed the day.

"The judges commented on how it was a very enjoyable experience, how the two young women had a lot to offer the local community, and (judging) was very hard job," she said.

Libby and Peta were joined by their parents, Janeen and Michael Coles, Rob and Louise Allen, for afternoon tea with judges and PA and H Association representatives.

"It was a lovely way of thanking the entrants for giving their time and their parents for their support," Mrs Earl said.

They'll be at the Show on Saturday, with 2023 Young Woman Elise Dukes, visiting different sections and sashing winners.

The grand parade at 2pm will be a great time to say hi, with the three alongside our junior show competition winners to be part of the parade.

The official opening will follow at 2.30pm.
