Sarina Show Celebrates 60 Years

Nothing beats a country show – the fanfare, the flavours and the family atmosphere has made the two-day Sarina Show and Rodeo a favourite amongst locals and visitors since starting in 1964.

Community Bank Sarina Bendigo Bank has supported the Sarina Show Society for many years, continuing in 2024 with a Gold Sponsorship.

The 2024 Sarina Show and Rodeo, on 3-4 August, will have displays and exhibits, stud cattle, prime cattle and ring events, as well as the always popular rides and excitement of the sideshow alley. Fireworks and a Rodeo are held on the Saturday night, with live music to follow.

Community Bank Sarina Board Chair Karen May said the Bank was proud to continue investing in the highly anticipated local tradition.

“The Sarina Show and Rodeo is such an important event in our region that promotes community connection and celebrates our local fine arts and agricultural achievements,” Ms May said.

“Our community is proud of what our local show has become, and our investment assists the event in staying sustainable and improving year after year, benefiting our customers and the wider community.

“Community Bank Sarina is committed to contributing our profits to hundreds of community strengthening initiatives, aligning with our vision of fostering a strong, resilient region where locals are connected and empowered.”

Community Bank Sarina has invested in the greater Sarina community and provided support to youth and education through a wide range of sponsorships, community grants, scholarships and donations to the tune of over $3.8 million since opening in 2005.
