Visitors to Nanango’s 108th annual show were spoiled for choice this year with activities stretching from one end of the showgrounds to the other.<\/p>\n

All the traditional show activities were there – pavilion and trade displays, poultry, showjumping, woodchopping, chainsaw races and a large prime cattle competition of 140 head.<\/p>\n

But there was also a strong turnout in the dairy goat competition with five breeds on display.<\/p>\n

And for the second year in a row, harness racing returned to the main ring with trotters entertaining the spectators in the stand as they raced around their temporary track.<\/p>\n

Dominating the showground this year was the massive ferris wheel in Sideshow Alley, the first time this giant wheel is believed to have been erected in Nanango.<\/p>\n

The show was officially opened by Queensland Rural Ambassador Justin Matthews, who was last year’s Nanango Show Rural Ambassador winner.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Justin’s come a long way since then. He went on to win the South Burnett Sub-Chamber event and then took out the\u00a0Queensland title at the Brisbane Exhibition.<\/p>\n

He will now compete against other State winners for the National title at the Geelong Show in October.<\/p>\n

Justin congratulated the Nanango Show Society members for their efforts in organising this year’s show, and especially all the young people involved on the day.<\/p>\n

“It is great to see the future of Queensland agriculture in such great hands,” he said.<\/p>\n

As the official opening ceremony began, cattle entered the arena from one side and hot rods from the other to form the Grand Parade.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cattle then made way for the trotters in the main ring.<\/p>\n

In the late afternoon, attention moved to the smaller arena, where the always-popular rodeo again drew a big crowd.<\/p>\n

This was followed by wrestling displays, live music by country singer Glen Albrecht, the Rings Of Fire equestrian display and a Dirt Bike derby.<\/p>\n

Squeezed into the middle of this big night of entertainment was the fireworks, probably the highlight of the show for many young and not-so-young showgoers.<\/p>\n
