Thousands of families have flocked to Claremont for a day of show bags and sugar as the State celebrated its second day of the annual Perth Royal Show.

Claremont Showground was a sea of colour on Sunday, as punters explored a maze of games and gourmet goodies in search of show bags.

Mandurah local Jessica Penner has been a Royal Agricultural Society of WA member for the last 25 years, and said she and her family made the pilgrimage up to the Show every year.

“Our grandparents had a fish aquarium, and my mum has been at the animal nursery . . . so we are seasoned people, and we absolutely love the Show,” she said.

“This year is absolutely incredible, there are so many interactive hands-on things, we’ve been up to AgVenture Hill and it was really, really good. There’s lots to do, lots to see, lots of smiles around.”

Ms Penner’s two sons, Lucas, 8, and Nicholas, 7, both chose the Pranks ‘n’ More showbag, which even came with nine different options of an extra prize including a skateboard, basketball or toy gun.

Nicholas said he was proud of himself because he faced his fears and braved a terrifying dragon-themed ride.

“It was fun, it was new for me because I was a bit scared. Now I’m not scared because I went on it,” he said.

“I love the Royal Show because you can play games and you can learn stuff.”

Emma Van Der Linden visited the Show with her 10-year-old twin daughters, Isla and Quinn, who saved their pocket money all year to pay for the Show.

“It’s our tradition, we come every year, and the girls save up coins throughout the whole year, and then we count it up and they use that to pay for the Show,” she said.

“It’s just a fun family day out of old-fashioned fun.”

Couple Trinity Karaka, 17, and Sam Lee, 18, described the Show as “bloody fun” after winning a giant plush cow toy.

They said they were already eyeing up a long list of show bags including the Zappo and iconic Bertie Beetle show bags.

“We went to the petting zoo, that was really fun, the guinea pigs were really cute and the line was very fast as well, I didn’t expect it to be that fast,” Ms Karaka said.
