Many Australian cities have annual agricultural exhibitions.
The main event is the grand display of primary products. As a boy about fourteen years of age, this writer clearly remembers how he spent a day at the exhibition. Being a member of an agricultural family, I was expected to show a keen interest in the latest developments in the industry. Before I realized it, the day was spent and it was time to catch the bus for home. With feelings of remorse, I reflected that I had missed the main event.
