Sideshow Alley at the Kingaroy Show is always the biggest in the region<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

April 30, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 109th Kingaroy Show will be running on Saturday and Sunday, and organisers are hoping for fine weather and bumper crowds this year.<\/p>\n

Last year’s Show was forced to run in a reduced format thanks to unseasonal heavy rain. But this time around the forecast looks much kinder.<\/p>\n

This year’s Show will offer families two days of jam-packed entertainment, featuring everything from Stud Beef, Stud Dairy and Poultry competitions through to bulging pavilion displays and perennial favourites like woodchopping, post ripping and chainsaw sculpting.<\/p>\n

There’ll be a Truck Show on Saturday and a Ute Muster on Sunday, along with displays covering everything from sheep shearing to smallgoods making, and martial arts through to whip-cracking.<\/p>\n

Equestrians can enjoy an Australian National Saddle Horse Feature Show on Saturday or showjumping in the main ring on Sunday. And bird fanciers can browse their way through a big display of caged birds, courtesy of the Burnett Birdkeeper’s Association.<\/p>\n

Visitors who’d like a taste of yesteryear can take advantage of free wagon rides in the grounds, or drop into the QCWA luncheon rooms for some wholesome country cooking.<\/p>\n

As usual, there’ll also be a jaw-dropping Sideshow Alley that’s always the biggest in the region.<\/p>\n

This year, the Show’s official opening will occur in the main ring at 11:00am on Saturday and this will be followed by the Grand Parade at around 11:30am.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’ll also be a Giant Fireworks Show at 7:00pm on Saturday that will light up the night sky; and on Sunday, the Kingaroy Speedway will roar into life at 4:00pm and run late into the night to round things out.<\/p>\n

Single day tickets to the 2016 Show remain inexpensive – under-12s can get in for free – and there’s also free parking available in the grounds.<\/p>\n

More information can be obtained by phoning the Kingaroy Show Society on (07) 4162-5800.<\/p>\n
