Congratulations to Tilda Jones and Liam Edwards for making it to the finals of the Prime Beef Judges competition at our very first EKKA Show! Tilda received a high commendation in the 11-13 age group, while Liam was highly commended in the 16-18 age group. The competition was fierce, with top contenders from across the state participating. They not only had to present in front of thousands at the Ekka, but their performances were also live-streamed. Well done to both!
