Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show News
with President Rowan O’Hara 

Dust off your boots, and get those cowboy hats out – it’s less than 100 days to the 2024 Sunshine Coast Show. This year is flying by, but patrons needn’t worry as we’ve been busy preparing since last year.

Trade stall applications close soon – see our website for details.

Start planning to make, create, photograph and design during the Easter break. Ceramics - is a new section in our Competitions – this year it’s in its own section. 

Silvercraft

Ideal for experienced or apprentice potters – with Junior and Senior classes. Silvercraft and Lapidary also have their own sections this year. 

Not to be left out, we have Schools on Show (local school work), Lego, Floriculture, Art, Livestock, Fruit and Vegetables, Eggs, Creative Art and Handcraft, Cookery, Sweets and Preserves, Apiculture, and more. Check out the Competition Section on our website at sunshinecoastshow.com.au/info/competitions/

Bison - any idea what it is or looks like? One is visiting us this year thanks to Dave Manchon and his Roof Top Express Show. 

Horses running free in the Showring, mix in a bison, and extra animals and you have an Arena Spectacular! 

Not to mention, the Super V8 Cars, and we’re taking you back in time to Chariot Races – with a modern twist, and we wouldn't forget Fireworks – one of the biggest ’Bang’ Shows on the Coast.

On a proud note, our Treasurer, Jasmine Bethell, was recently nominated for an Outstanding Emerging Leader award at the Queensland Ag Show Awards night. 

We’re very proud of this amazing lady.  

Volunteering is part of who we are as a Show Society – we step up rather than step away.
