THE famous Noosa Show is back for another year at the Pomona Showgrounds on 11 and 12 September, and this year celebrates 106 years of community and family fun.
This year’s theme for the show is Celebrating 100 Years of Anzac, which will see a fabulous exhibition from the Noosa Museum, plus performances from the 5th Light Horse Regiment and navy, army and air force cadets.
As part of the Anzac celebrations, the show will offer all local returned service people free entry into the show with a morning tea.
Returned service men and women are asked to bring proof of their enlistment and wear their medals, if possible.
The 2015 Noosa Show will have all of the favourite features such as showbags, rides and live entertainment including 80s legend Swanee with hit songs such as If I Were a Carpenter and Hold Your Head Up, plus Australian international touring band Dallas Frasca with local guitarist Johnny Curran.
Channel 9’s X Factor star Caitlyn Shadbolt will be on stage Saturday afternoon with local favourites Shane Crang and Uncle Bob’s Jug Band also performing along with Smokin’ Mirrors and the Burlesque Dancers after the thrills and spills of the Honky Tonk Rodeo.
For those that have a need for speed and petrol, Historic Speedway Cars and the Mower races will be firing up in the main arena.
New to the show this year will be the addition of poultry and guinea pig (cavy) categories, plus the dairy has been re-vamped along with the cookery and art classes.
Tickets to the show are set to stay at last year’s prices with adults $15, concession $10 and kids under 5 are free.
A one day family pass is $35 and a two-day family pass is $45, with an exhibitor’s pass only $10 for both days, so put in an entry to any section to get the bargain.
The show will run over two days and two nights on Friday 11 September and Saturday 12 September and for more information, phone the show office on 5485 2331 or visit www.noosashowsociety.org.au.
