The Dookie Show is a great day out for families to catch up with one another in the picturesque setting nestled at the base of the Dookie hills. The emphasis is on children and families with lots of games and events for them during the afternoon.

The horses on the arena are a fantastic sight and can be viewed from the seating around the oval whilst enjoying a cappuccino or something delicious to eat.Once again this year there will be the Local Hall of Produce showcasing locally produced goods. It is a day where people from all sectors come together and take pride in what can be achieved as a small community.
