The lack of social gatherings has not diminished the creativity of Nathalia district young people, who contributed to an online version of the Nathalia Show during the school holidays.
Organisers had to cancel the annual agricultural show due to COVID-19 restrictions, but ran a limited number of online competitions to maintain interest during the statewide lockdown.
Speaking on behalf of the show committee, Ellen Morcombe thanked everyone for their enthusiasm.
Some of the entries are on display in the window of Nathalia Electrical (Ross Smith’s).
Lego Stewards Tracey and Neil are starting up a Lego users group in Nathalia, and for more information, check out their Facebook page, called Nathalia and Surrounds Lego User Group.
The Nathalia Show photo competition is still being judged, and Country News will report on the outcome.
