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

May 5, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 110th Kingaroy Show will be running on Saturday and Sunday, and the South Burnett Show Society are hoping for fine weather and bumper crowds again this year.<\/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 and a Ute Show on Saturday, along with displays covering everything from bee keeping to peanut butter making, and martial arts through to whip-cracking.<\/p>\n

There’ll also be V8 tractor pulls on both days, as well as a free entertainment area for children offering face painting, a puppet show, an animal nursery and an inflatable NRL field.<\/p>\n

Equestrians can enjoy 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, along with the hoped-for return of the giant ferris wheel that proved so popular at the Nanango Show early last month.<\/p>\n

This year, the Show will be officially opened by Queensland Opposition Leader Tim Nicholls in the main ring at 1:30pm on Saturday, and this will be followed by the Grand Parade around 1:45pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’ll also be a Giant Fireworks Show at 7:00pm on Saturday that will light up the night sky; and the same day the Kingaroy Speedway will roar into life around 4:00pm in the main ring and run late into the night.<\/p>\n

Single day tickets to the 2017 Show are $15 for adults and $10 for young people aged 12-17 on Saturday; and $10 for adults and $8 for 12-17s on Sunday (under-12s are free on both days).<\/p>\n

There are no concession rates and no two-day passes, and the Saturday entry fee includes free entry to the Kingaroy Speedway on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

There’s also plenty of free parking in the grounds, and there will be free sample bags for the first 600 under-12s through the gate on Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n

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