The 2024 Young Woman, Rural Ambassador and Junior Rural Achiever have been named with Dakota Hindmarsh (Young Woman), Steph Bacon (Rural Ambassador) and Steph Dresser (Junior) the winners among the judges.

In hotly contested fields, there was little separating the winner in each category and judges Sean Haynes, Beatrice Patterson and Cr Erin Watt sure had a task on their hands choosing winners.

Cr Erin Watt congratulated the winners sighting the inspirational ideas many had for Cowra and the community. Each of the candidates spoke of the opportunities that exist in areas such as Cowra and connections they felt from that sense of community.

A statement on the Cowra Show Society Facebook page echoed Cr Watt's praise of the entrants and the manner in which they day was conducted.

"Congratulations to our wonderful Rural Ambassadors and Young Women Entrants. You should all be so very proud of raising your hand to enter these competitions, representing your community and showing your dedication to the Agricultural Industry and our local Cowra Show Society. What wonderful hands the future of the Show movement is in!"
