Now in its 158th year, the traditional country show promises a great day out for locals and visitors alike.
The day promises an array of activities, including the opportunity to:
- Savour local food and wine in the pavilion, whilst lapping up some of the roving entertainment
- Enjoy music on the stage from the Maryborough Big Band and the Wesley Bands
- Watch the wide range of horse events happening on the arena all day
- Meander through displays and competitions showcasing local agricultural produce
- Giggle at the ferret racing, keg throwing, scarecrow competition and ladies wood splitting-or even have a go yourself
- Take the kids to the mobile zoo, the mini circus, the puppet show, the face-painter and the sideshows
- Take in the arts and craft displays including the work of local school children
- Marvel at the creative talents of local cooks and gardeners
- Urge the dogs at the dog high jump, and
- Take in the sights on the Cobb and Co coach, or a trike tour.
There’s also rural ambassador, showgirl and showboy competitions, a beaut ute competition, tug of war and a display of vintage engines.
For those who are thirsty, the outdoor bar is full of character (and characters) and is a great place to relax and take in the sights.
A grand parade will be staged on the arena at 3pm.
A bar, barbecue and live music will be part of the evening festivities.
