April 8, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nanango Show is celebrating its 120th birthday this weekend – and the festivities are going to be huge!<\/p>\n

So big, in fact, the show has expanded to two full days to fit everything in …<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first Nanango Show was held in 1901, however wartime (and COVID, of course) has forced a few cancellations over the years which means the 2021 event is actually the 112th Nanango Show.<\/p>\n

But the Nanango A P & M Society Inc (the Nanango Show Society) is keen to mark the fact they have been highlighting the best of Nanango’s country lifestyle for 120 years.<\/p>\n

Celebrations kick off on Friday, with events during the day and into the night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bullride on Friday night is sure to attract a crowd – and as an added incentive, people who buy a ticket for Friday will get into the show for free on Saturday (just keep your wristbands).<\/p>\n

Showjumping and other equestrian events will also be in the main ring on Friday, and canine lovers will enjoy browsing the always-keenly contested championship dog show.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s show features a very special guest, the Queensland Governor, His Excellency\u00a0Paul de Jersey AC, who will be officially opening the show at 11:00am.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All the fun of the fair will also be happening on Saturday … sideshow alley, cattle, pavilion displays, trade stalls, wood chopping and chainsaw events, goats, trotting, an animal nursery and reptile show.<\/p>\n

Then on Saturday night, there’ll be fireworks at 7:00pm and live country music into the evening with Mik Oberle.<\/p>\n

Tickets will be available at the gate but organisers have recommended that patrons buy their passes online (see link below).<\/p>\n
