    “With the Royal Melbourne Show we are able to interact
 with thousands of people on a daily basis. We find that many
  people down the track, when they are ready for a new pet,
think greyhounds as they remember meeting them at the Show.
  We would highly recommend to businesses to exhibit at the
Royal Melbourne Show, as it is a great place to showcase your
  brand and product. The demographics are broad and you’re
        bound to communicate with your target market.”
