The week leading up to the Goomeri Show was great for local farmers – rain almost every day! – but was less helpful to show organisers.<\/p>\n

In the end, all events went ahead with the exception of the show-jumping which was cancelled because the ground was just too soft.<\/p>\n

“It wouldn’t have been a month ago that this place looked so dry, ” Show Society president\u00a0Amanda McArthur said ruefully at the official show opening on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

But she quickly acknowledged the rain had been very welcome.<\/p>\n

The wet weather meant entries in the stud beef and equestrian competitions were down as some would-be competitors could not get their stock off their properties.<\/p>\n

The show was opened by Gympie councillor Hilary Smerdon, who represents Division 6 which covers the Goomeri area.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cr Smerdon congratulated the organisers on the effort they had put into the show. and noted that putting on an agricultural show was getting “harder and harder” every year.<\/p>\n

While the opening was happening, a large dog show, which had kept enthusiasts busy at the lower end of the showgrounds area, was winding up.<\/p>\n

And in the pavilion, small groups of visitors inspected the entries in the various competitions.<\/p>\n

Crowd numbers increased as the day continued with the evening program attracting a lot of interest.<\/p>\n

The working cowhorse competition was held in the top ring on Saturday night, part of the Stockman\u2019s Challenge which continued on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Other highlights were the hay stacking competition and ironman challenge. And, of course, the fireworks were as popular as ever.<\/p>\n
