Maleny Agricultural Show 100 Years Commemorative Book!

What a collector’s item this book will be - don’t miss out on getting your copy of this treasure. A lot of work has gone into the publication by writer Judy Fredriksen and Maleny’s Show Society families and community to make this an invaluable read and historical resource.

Compiled from old news articles and interviews with show stalwarts, the commemorative book revisits the determination and grit of the town’s pioneers and how, united by passion and vision, they have consistently overcome the hurdles of inclement weather, war, drought and disease.

Scattered throughout are amusing anecdotes about local characters, including one who is rumoured to haunt the pavilion! Including so many snippets and tales over the show’s long historywith a 100-year mystery solved. Ernie Lawley, Alex Bryce and another unknown person put in £10 each to kick start the show in 1922. Finally the identity of that mysterious third person is revealed!

Do you know what years there was no Maleny Show and do you know the reasons that there was no show in those years. Check out this book to find out.

The Maleny Show Society’s 100 year commemorative book will be available for purchase in the week leading up to the Show at the Show office at the Showgrounds from Monday 29th May. It can also be purchased at the Show at the old fish and chip booth, next to the pavilion.

The book costs just $29.95, and will be available at the 2023 Maleny Show from the secretary’s office. EFTPOS facilities will be available cash sales too.

The first Maleny Agricultural Show was held in 1923. It rained so much that it was reported there were more cattle (280) than spectators in attendance. All enquiries about the book to judyfredriksen@bigpond.com https://issuu.com/Maleny-Grapevine-Community-News
