As we lead into our 63rd year of the Elmore Field Days, and at the time of writing this, the local area is seeing a very wet season, which is a pleasant surprise considering the “Super El Niño” that was predicted earlier in the year.
With all the uncertainty in the world at the moment, it was great to see the full house sign go up early this year.
This tells me that our exhibitors have confidence in the years ahead in the agriculture sector, despite global concerns.
As most of you would be aware the Elmore Field Days is no longer just the only event that we hold at the Elmore Events Centre.
Some of our events include the Elmore Tractor Pull, equestrian events of all disciplines, the Elmore Summer Send Off Ball, Scout Jamborees, caravan club rallies, music festivals, machinery demonstrations and new machinery launch days, clay target shooting competitions as well as many other smaller events.
Our latest addition is the Jet Boat racetrack that will be tested during this year’s field days, in preparation for the first official race of “Elmore Jet Boats” on October 31, 2026, with the assistance of The Australian Formula Jet Sprint Association.
The Elmore tractor pull is also being rebranded as Elmore Full Noise, which will combine the Elmore tractor pull, Jet boat racing and lawn mower races, plus heaps more fun on March 13, 2027.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed in any way to support me and the committee to stage this year’s Elmore Field Days, I hope you enjoy the three days and the remainder of the season is favourable to you.
