The Wool Fashion Parade is a key feature of Sheepvention.
It is an eagerly anticipated event and one of Sheepvention's
most popular attractions - with over 550 people attending
each of the four parades held each day.
In addition, a special preview parade, held at 5.30pm on the
Sunday night before Sheepvention, is well attended by the
Hamilton public, members of the committee and is a valuable
promotional opportunity.
The Ace Radio network is the major sponsor
of the Fashion Parade this year with ERA Nursery
and Cogger Gurry being associate sponsors.
