It’s nearly show time! THE Noosa Country Show is back with two days of family fun at the Pomona Showgrounds on September 10 and 11. After being cancelled last year due to Covid, Noosa Show Society president Charlie Pattison told the Cooroy Rag they are excited for a bigger and better show this year. “We are back with some exciting changes along with traditional show favourites. “We have a few new entertainment singers.We run two stages over the two day program of music with performances from a wide range of our very talented local musicians, as well as school and community groups. “ We’ve got a dinosaur display, which is great for the kids. There’s a possibility some of the best woodchoppers in Australia will be at the wood chop this year. “The dog jumping show that we had two years ago is back as well as a working dog display with a fellow’s dogs rounding ducks. “We’re also hoping for a few new rides and activities that will appeal to a wide range of ages to come through. We’ve worked on this for the last couple of years but last year got canned.” As well as the new attractions, there will be the usual draw cards in the main arena, the equestrian, stud beef, and dogs sections during the day and the monster trucks and fireworks
display on Friday night and the annual rodeo on Saturday night. While in the Pavillion, arts and craft, cookery, horticulture, and fruit and veg sections are perennial favourites. “With a balance of exhibitions, trade stalls, demonstrations, entertainment, food options, the 2021 Noosa Country Show will have something for everyone.” The theme of this year’s show is “where town meets country” which Charlie said is to acknowledge that a great many of the residents of Noosa Shire have come from bigger towns and cities, and have settled into our more urban areas. “We want them to embrace our rural areas as well, to learn where their abundant fresh food comes from, and to discover even more ways to connect with those in our rural areas.” Also new this year is the show’s online ticket system and new arm band procedure. “The biggest change this year is due to Covid we’re operating solely on online ticket sales. We’ve worked really hard to get the website up and running to do this, there has been a lot involved in getting set up.” Charlie said for any potential show goers worried about purchasing tickets in case a snap lockdown happens in the interim, don’t worry, full refunds will be available. “Ticket holders and com-
petitors will receive a full refund in the event of a lockdown.” Tickets are already selling fast and this year, entrance to the show will be a quick and easy process. “At the gate we’re going to have people scanning the online tickets and instead of putting arm bands on every person through the gate, this year arm bands will only be handed out to those who want to go out and come back in.” While the countdown is on for the first Noosa Show in two years, there is still a lot of work to be done. “It has been a big effort and we still need volunteers to do everything and anything. We’re holding a working bee to drag everything out and give it a clean up because it has been sitting there for two years.” If you would like to volunteer to help at the working bee or at the show, contact the Noosa Show Society secretary at: secretary@ noosashowsociety.org.au Otherwise grab your ticket for this year’s event and support your Noosa Country Show: https://www.localtickets.com.au/event/noosa-country-show-13872 What: Noosa Country Show When: Friday 10 and Saturday 11 September Where: Pomona Showgrounds, Exhibition Street, Pomona Tickets: https://www.noosashowsociety.org.au/
