The Crawford family on their way to the first Wondai Show in 1911 … the Wondai Show Society want to prepare a Centenary book to celebrate the Show’s 100th outing in 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

January 11, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Wondai Show will be making its 100th outing in 2017, and the Wondai Show Society would like the community’s help to produce a special Centenary book to mark the occasion.<\/p>\n

“The first Wondai Show was held on May 10-11 in 1911,” Show Society secretary Noreen Brier said.<\/p>\n

“Owing to drought, depression and war, shows were not held in some years.<\/p>\n

“But our 100th show is scheduled for 2017, and we’d really like the community’s help to make it something special.”<\/p>\n

In the early days, the Wondai Showground was also the town’s sports ground and it incorporated a concrete cricket pitch, a football field and a nine hole golf course with sand greens.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today – in addition to the annual Show – the South Burnett Race Club conducts horse race meetings at the grounds; the Burnett Kennel Club hold regular Championship Dog Shows; the local Pony Club has its clubhouse there; and many other clubs and community groups make good use of the modern facilities.<\/p>\n

The Showgrounds are also being increasingly used by campers and caravanners.<\/p>\n

The Centenary book will catalogue not only the major milestones of the Show’s long history, but also the development of the Showgrounds and the people who played a part in the process.<\/p>\n

“We would like to record memories and stories pertaining to the Show over the years,” Noreen said.<\/p>\n

“We want the Centenary book to be more than just a chronological history of the Show – we want to add the personal element and celebrate the people who have been so instrumental in the Show\u2019s development and success.”<\/p>\n

If anyone has memorabilia, photos or other materials that might be included in the Centenary book, they can contact Noreen on 0400-305-272 or email her<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
