Milo Showbag Stall

In the 1920s, stallholders at the Show started to offer small branded bags that Show patrons could use to carry the products they had sampled. Over time, these bags have evolved, adding novelty items and toys, and expanding the types of bags available to those that feature popular characters and sports teams. Though the contents of many showbags have changed over time, there's still nothing like walking into the Showbag Pavilion to see the walls covered in all the exciting treats ready to pick from.
