That is quite an elaborate set up for something only temporary. But also so standard looking (ie. it is such a good replica that I had to look hard) you have to question the point of them even doing the bulletin there anyway. They could have at least changed the backdrop to have a feed of the showgrounds.

If you didn’t see the opener you wouldn’t have known it was at the show. Why couldn’t it showoff the showgrounds or something that isn’t the regualr skycam.

A great point, the idea is to show how you’re local but this almost is such a good replica that you wouldn’t know. Lighting and all.
Having said that, it’s a great effort and far better than a lot of the ameturish looking set ups that make it to air for local Easter shows etc.

I was there for this on night one. Also got to present at the desk earlier in the day (anyone could). We watched the full bulletin and then everyone was allowed in when the bulletin finished. Alex Cullen stayed behind to sign autographs and meet everyone, Chris Bath left straight away and didn’t stay behind. It was so great to watch. They should do it again.
