Noosa’s best on show

THE Noosa Country Show kicks off today, with two nights and two days of fun-packed family entertainment at the Pomona Show Grounds.
There will be rides, Dora the Explorer, the Minions, live performances from X factor’s Jimmy Davis and the Radiators, plus a firework display.
Mayor Tony Wellington will also be on hand at Noosa Council’s tent at the Noosa Show on Friday between 2pm and 3pm and on Saturday between 11.30am and 12.30pm to meet citizens and answer questions.
The council’s events communications officer Heather Williams said the council’s tent will be a hive of activity with Noosa Library services’ interactive storytelling using puppets, songs, play and drama based on The Enormous Crocodile by Roald Dahl, and the opportunity for young people to have their say on the New Noosa Plan.
“There will be a plant display by the council’s parks and natural areas team and Friends of the Botanical Gardens’ will be selling plants,” she said.
“There’ll be tips and tricks for responsible dog ownership, a worm farm and the latest on recycling including new items the landfill site will now accept free of charge.
“The first 20 people to come say ‘hi’ at the council tent each day will win swim passes to Noosa Aquatic Centre and fitness passes to Noosa Leisure Centre. We hope to see you at the Noosa Show. It is always a great fun day out for the family.”
The council’s marquee will be located at a new site this year, just left of the main entrance gate.
