Oakey Show goes ahead this weekend
After being postponed from
its original date at the start of the
year, the Oakey Show will finally
welcome guests through the
gates this weekend.
The 114th Oakey Show will
open this Saturday with a new
program that has something for
all the family to enjoy.
With the outbreaks of
COVID-19 at the start of the
year, the Oakey Show Society
thought it would be best to postpone
its original March date.
Oakey Show Society publicity
officer Diane Marsh said it was
disappointing having to interrupt
the event’s usual scheduling but
the show society was glad they
could put an event together for
2022.
“Last year was one of our
largest shows we have held
and, with the delay this year, we
wanted to make sure there was
still something for local families
to enjoy,” she said.
This Saturday’s show differs
from former shows in that there
won’t be the usual sections that
are seen at an agricultural show.
“We’ve focused on putting
together a fun day filled with
entertainment for everyone to
enjoy,” Mrs Marsh said.
“Instead of our usual horse
section, we have organised a
T-Shirt Fun Day for horse and
pony riders of all levels to come
down have some fun.”
Even though the 114th Oakey
Show will be held in August,
Mrs Marsh said the annual
event would return to its original
scheduling in March next year.
“The Oakey Show is a community
event where rural and
urban families can come togeth-
DIANE MASH
Something for families
er and celebrate achievements
in our local community,” Mrs
Marsh said.

MasterChef Australia's first
ever winner Julie Goodwin has
been announced as this year’s
special guest for the Festival of
Food and Wine at the Toowoomba
Carnival of Flowers.
Since winning the reality TV
show six years ago, she would
go on other TV shows, write six
books and numerous columns
for Australian Women’s Weekly,
and open her own cooking
school.
Goodwin will be demonstrating
her knowledge, while showcasing
a range of local produce
from the Toowoomba Region on
the weekend of Saturday, September
10.
A host of local producers have
been invited to the festival including
Toowoomba brewers,
4 Brothers Brewing and the
Pechey Distilling Co.
The festival will also see a
host of local musicians take to
the stage including Vera Blue,
Ash Grunwald, Kane Maher,
The Van Trio and more.
The Toowoomba Carnival of
Flowers will take place for the
full month of September following
on from last year’s format.
Event organisers expect this
new format will bring more than
190,000 people to the region.
The Carnival of Flowers was
introduced on October 21, 1950
to promote Toowoomba's Garden
City reputation to stimulate
economic activity following the
hardships of World War II.
