Entertainment

Every year Show Whitsunday seeks to bring a range of rural-based entertainment to the region that we would otherwise not have access to.  Over the years we have seen just about everything from whip cracking to fire dancing, to horse whispering and poetry.

This year sees the return of one of our most popular acts – Airtime FMX Motocross – who promise to provide us with all the noise and excitement we can take.  They will be making three appearances – Friday lunchtime, Friday night and Saturday lunchtime………… So be sure to not miss this opportunity.

We are very excited to welcome Frank Finger and his Muster Dogs to the Proserpine Showgrounds and the Whitsunday Region for the very first time.

Many of you will know of Frank and his working kelpie Annie who took out the winner’s crown in series one of the ABC TVs Muster Dogs.  Frank and his team will be on hand Friday in the Main Ring at lunchtime and will be on site to you to come and meet him and his team throughout the day – don’t miss this fabulous opportunity……………..

We also welcome Precision Reptiles and their interactive wildlife education demonstrations.  If you are into snakes this is the place to be – You can get up close to see some of the world’s most venomous snakes and learn how they react.  There is also photo opportunity and a chance to hold a python, or a bearded dragon or even a baby saltwater crocodile …………………

This year we also have for the very first time – The Mini Bouncy Rodeo Show. This is a unique mini kids arena under cover where your littlies get the chance to race against the clock as rodeo riders on cute bouncy animals ………….where potential rodeo stars of the future can compete.

For kids of all ages (and big kids) there is of course the Show favourite – the fabulous Melville’s Baby Animal Petting Farm.  With its menagerie of baby animals – Alpacas, ducks, chickens, goats ………… you name it,  it’s there and so very cute and cuddly.  We cant wait to find out how Prosy the baby goat is doing – she was born last year at the Show !!!!!

What would be a regional country Show without the action of Side Show Alley and Show Bags – this year you will see all sorts of entertainment – the big slide, the dodgems, the haunted house, the scary clown faces, shooting galleries.  For those with more stamina – The Extreme, Tornado, Big Whizzer, Sky Flyer, Cliff Hanger, and the Graviton will all be onsite to test your adrenalin …

What would be a Show without the fabulous Fireworks Display at 8pm. This is not just any spot of fireworks – this is truly a crack of an event!
