The family of four – Kristie, Katie, Andrew and Adam – have won seven nights’ accommodation at Scotts Head, donated by Gunnedah Show Society members Julie Mammen and Chris Burgess.

Mr Farquhar said it was a shock to find out they had won and it had topped off the day.

Mrs Farquhar said they were on the bumper cars at the show when the announcement was made.

“We went over to watch the fireworks and a friend came over to Andrew and said, ‘I think you won the raffle’. It was very exciting,” she said.

The Show Society’s George Truman said the family was very deserving because they were quite involved in the art section of the show.

“It couldn’t have gone to anyone better than these two,” he said.

The raffle funds will go towards renovating the kitchens in the art and photography pavilion and under the grandstand.
