TRADITION, fun and family attractions will bring thousands to the 136th running of the Boort Show this month.
The shire’s only agricultural show will have activities for all ages with show society president Madeleine Scott saying: “It’s going to be a grand day for our community, the district and the whole shire.”
Mrs Scott says the show again celebrates the district’s rich agricultural heritage infused with contemporary showcasing of rural and country life.
“The Boort Show offers something for every member of the family from the tiny tots’ fashion show to the over 70s needlework exhibit category,” she said.
“Dodgem cars are back for this year along with bungee trampoline, Red Baron airplane ride and sky flyer, providing hours of entertainment for the family.”
Mrs Scott said a new show feature in 2024, a ute show and shine, was the brainchild of local young men, the latest generation to step up and contribute to the running of the show.
“We’ve seen the wonderful growth of the truck show and now the locals and their utes are going to be part of the show day action,” she said.
“This says a lot about how the show brings people and communities together.
“And it is that support, where from exhibitors, our amazing sponsors and the tremendous work of every volunteer on the committee and on the day that makes the Boort Show so special.”
Mrs Scott says teamwork and pride in community has helped shape another exciting program of events and activities for the 2024 show.
“And the best thing will be seeing smiles on the faces of people of all ages as they soak up the atmosphere on show day. That’s what our show is about!”
