A Message from Litchfield Mayor Doug Barden 

Dear Litchfield Community,

As Mayor of Litchfield, I am delighted to support the 2025 Freds Pass Rural Show – a much-loved event that showcases the best of our rural lifestyle, community spirit, and local talent.

For nearly half a century, the Freds Pass Rural Show has brought together families, farmers, businesses and visitors to celebrate our region’s agricultural heritage, arts, and culture. It is a fantastic opportunity to experience everything from equestrian events and livestock displays to wood-chopping, local produce and live entertainment.

Litchfield Council is proud to support events that strengthen our community, and the Freds Pass Rural Show is a highlight on our calendar.

I encourage everyone to come along, enjoy the festivities, and support our local exhibitors, volunteers, and businesses who make this event possible.

I look forward to seeing you there. 

Yours sincerely,
Mayor Doug Barden
