‘Resoundingly successful” … this is how Nanango Show Society president Les Schloss has described the 104th annual Nanango Show.<\/p>\n

“All our gates were up, in fact everything was up,” Les said.<\/p>\n

The weather was “brilliant”, he said, and the motorbike stunt show was “just something!”.<\/p>\n

“It was our main entertainment and they did a really good job.”<\/p>\n

In fact, the bikes were so good they managed to lure some of the crowd away from what is usually the show’s main evening attraction, the bull ride.<\/p>\n

“But there was still plenty of fun and action over there in the rodeo ring,” Les said.<\/p>\n

The fireworks – sponsored by the Heritage Community Bank – were “brilliant”.<\/p>\n

All the usual attractions of the show were also popular … the wood-chopping, post-ripping, equestrian events and sideshow alley.<\/p>\n

Pavilion entries were up and farm produce had more space this year after moving into the old poultry shed.<\/p>\n

About 125 head were entered into the Prime Beef competition.<\/p>\n

The two-day championship dog show was also well-supported.<\/p>\n

“The alpaca display wasn’t as big this year because they are having a big show in July,” Les said.<\/p>\n

This State alpaca show, to be held at the Nanango Showgrounds, will be combined with a State Dexter cattle show and a display by working dogs.<\/p>\n

However, the Booie Spinners were taking the opportunity to demonstrate their craft from farm and fleece to fashion.<\/p>\n

Members were spinning recently carded alpaca fleece to create yarn which they were then crafting into wearable fashion.<\/p>\n

The last word must go to Les: “It was just a really nice day.”<\/p>\n
