In pictures: Crowds drawn to Wild and Wonderous Bridgetown show

Despite the rainy forecast, the 136th Bridgetown Show was a wild success at the Bridgetown Showgrounds on Saturday.

Attendees were able to enjoy more than 50 activities on the day, including up-close native critters, sideshow games and rides, a grand parade featuring veteran and vintage vehicles, livestock competitions, and live music.

In keeping with the show’s theme, Wild Wonders, there were even two dingoes for people to meet.

The prospect of fireworks was in question during the day, but in a statement shared on social media organisers said, rain notwithstanding, the show would go on.

“At 6.30pm we received a call from the fireworks boss asking if we were going ahead. Some of the fireworks (had) been damaged and the weather (was) less than favourable,” the committee said in an online statement.

“We made the decision to go ahead. Our hearts burst with appreciation that the seating was filled, the cars were lined up, and the community had returned to see the grand finale on one of our most memorable shows on record.”
