Was this the best Kingaroy Show ever? The thousands of people who attended the two-day event probably think so … and the organisers are thrilled!”It was fantastic. We’re over the moon,” Show Society president Cliff Seiler said today.<\/p>\n

“And we’re so happy with the response from the town to support this year’s show.”<\/p>\n

The numbers through the gate were up from last year. And in what must be a first for a modern Australian event, the entry prices were down.<\/p>\n

Organisers believe the lower entry fee “most definitely” helped to boost attendance numbers, but so did the perfect weather.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett Show Society also made an extra effort this year “to get the word out” that the show was on.<\/p>\n

Local businesses also benefited as trade displays were free, although food vendors had to pay.<\/p>\n

“The showies said they couldn’t believe how many people there were here,” Ros Tigel said from the Show Office today.<\/p>\n

The quality of competitions over the two days were also excellent, with national and Queensland champions aplenty competing in the woodchopping.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s activities culminated in a massive fireworks display which could be seen all over Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

Sunday finished with a bang, with a free Speedway Show featuring spills, thrills and lots of exciting racing.<\/p>\n
