Get ready for the Maleny Show

Exciting new drawcards for 2019 Maleny Show

By Sonia Clark

This year’s Maleny Agricultural Show, on Friday and Saturday, May 31-June 1, will feature some epic new experiences that will appeal to attendees of all ages.

Committee members from the Maleny Show Society have been working extra hard behind the scenes to add these exciting new attractions, including a chance to test your driving ability with an allconditions driving simulator, live performances showcasing our rural living history, an hilarious motorcycle comedy show and a chance for kids to engage in rocket science workshops.

In what will no doubt be a popular drawcard, RACQ will bring its mobile member centre semitrailer to the show, which contains two driver training simulators.

Keith Cassidy, the mobile member centre coordinator, said the simulators had been specifically designed to improve driver skills and featured a wide range of modules that allowed simulation of a variety of conditions and experiences such as driving in snow or fog.

“Kids love trying to race and more experienced drivers have the opportunity to learn something new,” Keith said.

History will come alive with the award winning Australia’s Living History show, which will be featured both days on the entertainment oval. Showcased at more than 500 regional shows and festivals, this interactive and informative attraction features an incredible display of historic bush settler artefacts, as well as story and yarn telling along with live demonstrations of traditional bush camp skills such as butter and rope making, and heaps more.

The Epic Darren show on Friday features a chance to enjoy funny low-key motorcycle stunts set against a super entertaining family comedy show. With a focus on providing comedy and entertainment, Epic Darren will be an hilarious highlight of the arena on Friday night.

Young engineers will discover the wonders of rockets and aerospace flight with a specially tailored children’s workshop featured over both show days. It’s rocket science - Moon mission promises an exciting opportunity to build and launch water rockets to some awesome altitudes.
