2012
SHOW PROGRAM
Whilst some of the components of the 2012 Show are still in
the development stages, the following is an outline of the proposed
program of events. This program is subject to change or alteration
without notice.
Freds Pass Rural Show enters its 34th year and attracts many
international, national and intra-Territory visitors and participants.
2012 promises to be an exciting event. As in 2011, we will continue
the components that encourage greater participation by our young
people, particularly those in the rural and remote areas of the
Northern Territory. Many components which were introduced in 2011
will again be featured in the 2012 Show including:
PERFORMING ARTS
Young people between the age of 10 to 25 years showcased their
talents and achievements to the wider community in 2012.
This component will again feature in 2012 show program.
A comprehensive information kit is currently being developed for
distribution to government and private schools within the Territory.
Advertising will also support these programs to encourage participation
by youth groups and other interested parties.
EXHIBITIONS/ DISPLAYS
2011 saw over 200 companies, government organisations and community
groups exhibit at the Show. Both government and private sector
will be encouraged to exhibit at the Show however the focus will
be on interactive displays.
The cost of exhibiting will be incorporated into an overall sponsorship
package for organisations who are interested in exhibiting goods
and services. Alternatively a-site-only cost will be available
for potential exhibitors/participants.

FUNDING
The Show is a community rather than a commercial venture and
therefore needs to operate on a cost recovery basis. We are seeking
to offset the costs by obtaining sponsorship support (funding)
assistance from both the public and private sectors. The Show
supports over 25 community groups with their annual fundraising
efforts and funds raised through the major auction are available
to sporting and user groups of the Reserve to assist with purchasing
equipment.
The 2012 funds will go towards the upgrading of Freds Pass Show equipment.
