Anthony Toner, from Kingaroy, brought along his Western Star … one of the “smaller” trucks in the huge truck show which was part of the 2023 Wondai Show on Saturday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The 104th Wondai Show has been hailed as a great success, with record attendances on Saturday and new attractions drawing plenty of praise.<\/p>\n

Wondai AP&I president Amanda Palmer said she was “ecstatic” her committee had been able to put on such a great show.<\/p>\n

There were stud beef and dairy cattle, horses, dogs, a packed-out poultry pavilion, sideshow alley, car show, ute show, truck show, lawn mower racing and even helicopter rides.<\/p>\n

“It’s definitely the biggest numbers through the gate that we’ve ever had for the Wondai Show,” Amanda told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“We were extremely proud and honoured to be able to deliver something like that to the community.”<\/p>\n

She said the truck show had been phenomenal, and the new attractions – such as the helicopter rides and freestyle motocross displays – had proven to be <\/strong>very popular.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The FMX riders performed aerobatic tricks as they soared above a dump truck supplied by sponsors Yesberg Earthmoving.<\/p>\n

“It was a huge crowd pleaser and we hope to have them back for future shows,” Amanda said.<\/p>\n

She said the bullride on Saturday night had also been a great success.<\/p>\n

“From what I can tell, it was a crowd favourite. I was in the bar area, and it was absolutely crazy!” Amanda said.<\/p>\n

“The kids loved having the rodeo clown throwing out lollies. There’s been a lot of positive feedback.”<\/p>\n

After the rodeo, Mr Q played until midnight but the crowds hung around even longer than that.<\/p>\n

Amanda said she would really like to thank the committee and her volunteers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Without them we wouldn’t have had what we did on Saturday and the show wouldn’t have been as great as what it was,” she said.<\/p>\n
