Fashions on the Field
Dressing your best isn't always your first thought when getting ready to come to the Foster Show but our Fashions competition celebrates the effort you put into your showday outfit. It doesn't have to be a pretty dress or stifling suit, your best or favourite farm wear is ideal to participate this year. Or maybe you've made your own, purchased a sustainable product or supported a local business when choosing your outfit - we'd love to see you on the Fashion Stage no matter your age!
