SPECIAL FEATURE PENRITH SHOW Reptile World will amaze the kids Steve McEwan’s Reptile World is an informative, entertaining and educational display featuring a variety of local lizards, pythons and venomous snakes.

Hear from Steve on how best to avoid snake bite and see the first aid demonstration, as well as seeing some of the world’s most venomous snakes in complete safety at this year’s Show.

Take the opportunity to pat some of the lizards or a python before each exciting show starts and learn about Australia’s unique reptiles.

Proudly sponsored by Emu Signs.

Fireworks will light up the show!

Size doesn’t matter when it comes to this car!

Rarely has the description “Fireworks Spectacular” been so rightly used.

The Penrith Show fireworks display starting at 7.30pm on Saturday, August 27 will be an absolute treat.

Anyone who saw the display last year knows just how good it’s likely to be.

t’s not the size they say, it’s how loud and fast it is – and the real life pocket rocket, a Daihatsu Mira turned jet car, certainly wins in that regard.

Although the tiny custom built car may look like it can’t fit your weekly shopping, its owner, builder and operator, David Nicotra saw it’s real potential as the casing for a high-powered jet engine.

Both Mr Nicotra and the Turbomeca Marbore IIC jet engine in the Daihatsu’s

I

boot will be firing up at the Penrith District Show on August 27 and 28.

“The crowd love the giant 100 foot high smoke cloud, which then bursts into a gigantic ball of light,” he said.

It took Mr Nicotra two years to build the jet car (AKA Combat Dragon), and he has been burning cars and grass with it at shows around the country for a decade.

It’s even been racing down runways at airstrips, and in Bundaberg in 2011 it

recorded an insane 300km/h racing a Holden Maloo ute.

The jet engine is fitted with an aftermarket air burner, that even without it pushes out around 2600 horse power.

It also has an original 660CC three cylinder engine pushing approximately 30kw on the front wheels to keep it roadworthy.

Get ready to feel the ground shake and watch the fire with the jet car at the Show!

SPECIAL FEATURE

Carol is the voice of the Penrith Show in 2016 arol Heuchan is a lady of many hats. She has been a professional horsewoman for most of her life, training riders and show horses, and competing successfully in 35 Sydney Royal Easter Shows. She is also a highly qualified national judge and has judged internationally.

In 2003, her first book was published and led her to the world of bush poetry, which she took by storm, amassing a swag of awards.

Twice Australian champion and nine times Laureate Award winner, and with five books and five CDs (all award winning), she is the winner of the richest prize in poetry history (a $34,000 tractor!).

Carol has been on the winning team in the World Poetry Debate, and has been

C

a part of numerous Australia-wide radio programs and featured in an ABC television series ‘Bush Slam’ shown several times on national prime-time television.

In January 2015, she left for her sixth US/Canada concert performance tour.

Needless to say, she is in great demand as an entertainer, writer, guest speaker, judge of horses and poetry, compere and announcer.

She brings a ‘breath of fresh air’ to the Sydney Royal Easter Show where she has been the main arena commentator for the last five years.

Her long association with and passion for Agricultural shows (even serving on the committee for this very show over 40 years ago) and her talent at the microphone will make this Penrith Show worth listening to!

Lawrence is a proud aunty of three little ones who feature as backing vocalists on the album, and are the first inspiration behind all the singer’s songs.

“If I have my nieces and nephew singing along I know the song is a keeper, if not, I head back to the drawing board and start again,” she said.

Amber has released 17 singles over the course of her career-to-date that have either reached #1 or Top 5 on the Country Music Radio Chart and the CMC video charts.

She is the recipient of more than 15 Country Music Awards, eight Golden Guitar nominations and two APRA nominations.

mber Lawrence is an awardwinning singer-songwriter who will be performing at the Penrith Show as the main stage attraction next weekend.

Lawrence will be performing off the back of major success, including her newly released debut kids’ album.

The singer created history in 2015 by taking out the CMAA Golden Guitar ‘Female Artist of the Year’ and CMC ‘Oz Female Artist of the Year’ awards, the first time an artist has won both in the same year and has now broken the mould again with her latest record.

The album, ‘Amber Lawrence – The Kid’s Gone Country’ is a collection of 15 brand new original kids songs, written or co-written by Amber, and was released in April this year.

Throughout her eight years as a recording artist it has always been apparent that a large portion of Lawrence’s fan-base was made up of children.

Lawrence has always loved having children attend her shows and has always had an underlying theme within her music that resonated with young people.

Are you ready to be amazed by Griego the Great at the show? e surprised by Griego the Great Roving Magician, that can be anywhere at anytime during this year’s Penrith District Show.

Over August 27 and 28, Griego will be roaming around the Penrith Showground in his eye catching outfit of black trousers, sparkling white shirt with black trim, huge black bow tie, and his iconic, mysterious black patch over his right eye.

Griego will wander around the crowds, entertaining patrons with ‘the most amazing’ feats of mental card

B

magic he said people have ever seen in their whole lives.

“Guaranteed!” he exclaimed.

As he roams, people can meet with him and talk to him, rather than just watch him on stage.

Kids are fascinated by his sheer magic, and adults are kept guessing, thinking ‘how on Earth did he do that?’

It’s his mystery, intrigue, the eyecatching spectacle and the anticipation of the unexpected that keep the smiles on everyone’s faces!
