There was plenty of community talent to showcase at the Noosa Country Show over the weekend and lots of praise heaped on the volunteers for their monumental effort.
Show spokeswoman Mia Hacker said there were record numbers of horse jumping events on Friday, quality cattle in stud and dairy categories and the dogs and miniature horses stole the show.
Mia said the shire could be proud of the capacity of volunteers.
“So many people come along to help make all the cogs turn and magic happen,” she said.
“There were lots of jobs of all sorts of description, from stewards organising sections to the boys clearing the woodchop section. The volunteer set-up and pack down crew showed real teamwork to get the jobs done”.
The music line-up was a hit and the local schools showed their talents in the musical arts performance
Some of the winners of the show included Tony MacKenzie for his photography, Gloria Taylor for her champion preserves and Alex Findlay for woodcraft. Leigh Hooker won the people’s choice award for her artwork titled David Bowie and Jaim Caskey was the junior art champion.
Cedar Brooke Brahmans took home the senior and reserve female champion prizes and Tim and Lisa Nicholls won the supreme champion and senior champion awards for their dairy cows.
