Don’t miss the sweetest show on earth

THE Nedbank Eston Show, one of KZN’s premier community events dubbed The Sweetest Show on Earth takes place on 27 and 28 August at the Beaumont Eston Farmers’ Club in Eston.

Showcasing the latest countrywide trends in industry infrastructure and equipment, the Nedbank Eston Show has been a popular weekend escape for agriculture enthusiasts and their families for the past 62 years.

The 63rd edition, however, promises to be even bigger and better than before, boasting a live performance by five times SAMA nominated, MTV MAMA Award winning band, Gangs of Ballet, who will take the stage on Saturday, 27 August, after a host of local performers.

Aside from the brilliant music on offer, the weekend will feature a crafts and flea market, beer tent, with refreshingly cold draught beer served by Robson’s Breweries, delicious food and a diverse line-up of competitions and events.

New to the programme this year is the popular and entertaining SA Strongman demonstration, a Skydiving demonstration and Vintage Tractor Parade, all to be held on Saturday before the live music kicks off at 4pm.

There is also an antique-style market to enjoy, not to mention the famous open auction, which always draws a crowd and gets rather raucous just before the hammer comes down.

Motorbike lovers should not miss out on the opportunity to take part in the Dirtfest Motorbike Fun Ride, which will be on Sunday, 28 August at 10am, open to all age groups and abilities. Contact Roger De Billot on 083 627 9754.
