The Katherine Show is only weeks away, and with it comes the popular campdraft, running from July 19 to 21.
Katherine Show Society executive officer Sue Sinclair said the campdraft is set to draw a huge crowd.
“Be sure to catch the Team Draft on Thursday night, where teams of three will compete against each other in their most creative and coordinated apparel, where a special prize will be awarded to the team that has the best collaborative outfit,” Ms Sinclair said.
“This is sure to be a crowd favourite event.”

Ms Sinclair said “if you haven’t seen a campdraft before, this is one you won’t want to miss”.
“Another special event you shouldn’t miss is The Mini Draft, which stars the young youths of today who will soon be the future of our draft,” Ms Sinclair said.
“We will also show some of the best drafters ride on horseback to ‘cut’ one beast from a mob of cattle within the “camp” and show their best abilities in being able to block and turn the beast at least two or three times to display their control.
“In addition to the entertainment, we are welcoming back a community group that will be providing breakfast, lunch and dinner at affordable prices,” she said.
Nominations are open online on June 26 until June 29 or unless the limit is reached beforehand.
Ms Sinclair said all nominations must be paid for when nominating, otherwise unpaid entries will be placed on the waiting-list.
“Please note that as there are a limited number of cattle, nominations will be restricted,” Ms Sinclair said.
“Please visit our website for more information on how to enter, prizes available and any special regulations that may concern you.
“Don’t be daft by missing out on this year’s campdraft.”
