Showtime!

Roll up, roll up, it’s showtime!

There’s excitement in the air; it’s the social highlight of the year. An opportunity for distant neighbours to meet, and for producers and craftspeople to display a variety of goods.

Hopes are high for wins across a multitude of competitions, from chickens to cheesecakes, watercolours to the woodchop; money has been saved for showbags; and dagwood dogs are on every menu.

Loved by generations, local shows continue to be a highlight of the annual calendar. Showtime! takes a look at the essence of this eternal crowd pleaser.

Exhibition developed by Moreton Bay Regional Council.
