EMMA Chalk (5), a fourth-generation Wanneroo Show-goer, was delighted to meet Bingo, an Australian miniature pig, who will be a star attraction in the Barn Babes Animal Farm at the Wanneroo Agricultural Show this weekend.
Four-month-old Bingo was getting along beautifully with Emma until he kissed her on the arm; the relationship soured a little after that.

The first Wanneroo Show was held in 1909, after a committee was formed to showcase Wanneroo’s agricultural produce and stock, and to bring together the small pioneering community to enjoy an annual, fun-filled day.
Little did those early Wanneroo pioneers know that 107 years later, their Wanneroo Show would still be going strong.
It is still run by a committee of volunteers, who work hard to maintain its great tradition and to provide a fun-filled event for the young and not-so-young.
The 2016 Wanneroo Show is on at the Wanneroo Showground on Ariti Avenue this Friday from 4pm to 10.30pm and Saturday from 9am to 10.30pm.
