Show is in the swing

THE Noosa Country Show is celebrating 107 years of family fun this year with a show that is set to be bigger and better than ever.
The traditional-style country show will feature a variety of competition sections that aim to celebrate the diversity of people and their talents.
The main animal sections on show for spectators include the equestrian, stud beef, dairy cattle and show dogs, which is always a popular event.
Arts and craft, cookery horticulture and the region’s best fruit and vegetables are also back in the pavilion, and the show will also host the Showman’s Guild again, which supplies the rides and amusement arcade with fun for the whole family.
The animal nursery is back and kids can catch an animal workshop at 11am and 2pm, enjoy an interactive farm feeding display with the baby animals at 9am and 6pm or grab a photo with a Minion and Dora the Explorer.
The Noosa Country Show is hosted by the Noosa Show Society and is held at the Pomona Showgrounds on the corner of Exhibition Street and Pavilion Street, Pomona.
There will also be live music throughout the show including performances by the local musician and former X Factor contestant Jimmy Davis and the Radiators.
The show runs from Friday 9 September to Saturday 10 September.
Tickets are $15 per adult per day, $10 per child per day, $45 for a family weekend pass, $10 for an exhibitor’s weekend pass and members are free when they show their card at the gate.
