25.01.2022 Central Highlands Sub Chamber finals date change The Central Highland Showgirl & Rural Ambassador Sub Chamber Finals hosted by Clermont Show has changed from the 26th June to Saturday 19th June. https://queenslandshows.com.au/

24.01.2022 This years show has been postponed not cancelled as was reported on local TV news last night 19-5-2020

24.01.2022 The Pomona Showgrounds is home to the Noosa Show, the rodeo, gymkhanas and many other community events that make our region such a fantastic place to live. Tod...ay I was pleased to present Noosa Show Society with a grant for $85,675 to install a new lighting system so these events can be bigger and better than ever before. While many shows including Noosa have been postponed or cancelled this year due to the pandemic, this funding through the Morrison Governments $20 million Regional Agricultural Show Development Grants program will help ensure the Show goes on for years to come. Congratulations to Noosa Show Society President Charlie Pattison and the committee for their work in planning for this important upgrade.

24.01.2022 We have received confirmation from all of our 128 Shows and can confirm that no Queensland Ag Shows affiliated Agricultural Shows will be taking place in 2020 a...ll that had advised they where postponed have made the heart wrenching decision to cancel. Everyone is very excited for a bigger and better 2021. Remember our shows need your support more then ever!

23.01.2022 Just a note - Human nominations will be closed at 3pm on Friday so we have time to prepare the covid list for Saturday morning. If you are coming or know someo...ne who is please share this to be sure we have as many people on that list as possible to avoid guest sign ins. Thank you to everyone who has nominated already!

23.01.2022 Can you spare an hour or two?

23.01.2022 In September this year we were due to hold 111th Noosa Country Show, but after a great deal of discussion, and the best interests of the community during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to postpone the 2020 Show. It is worth noting that this year the Sunshine Coast, Fraser Coast, Gympie Shows (as well as most Queensland shows) and, most recently, the Gympie Muster have all been cancelled. Importantly, as the Ekka too has been cancelled..., the sub-chamber and state level points scoring competitions like stud cattle, dairy, and equestrian - events that are an important part of the Noosa Country Show - have also been cancelled. A great deal of organisation and planning goes into running our Show, and in the current challenging economic climate, growing unemployment, and social distancing as a result of COVID-19, we determined that it was in the best interests of our community to delay, not cancel altogether, our plans. Since the first Agricultural Show was held in Tasmania in 1822, they have become an important part of country life in Australia. Regardless of whether they are large city shows like Brisbanes Ekka or smaller community events like our own Noosa Country Show, they are events that bring communities together. Unlike many other show societies, we own our Showgrounds, and this gives us the flexibility to reschedule. So when the situation resolves, our aim is to hold a scaled-down one-day show towards the end of the year. We envisage this to be a donation-on-entry event, a coming together for the community after navigating this difficult time. We will make further announcements about our new Community Show in coming months. The Noosa Show Day is a gazetted public holiday, and we confirm that Friday, 11 September 2020 will still be a public holiday in the Noosa Shire.

21.01.2022 Volunteers are the lifeblood of Australian Country Shows, and the Noosa Country Show is no exception. In seeking volunteers, we do have the challenge that many people in our growing community don't have rural roots, having moved here from larger towns and cities in search of a lifestyle that is the envy of just about anyone else in the world. But they may not grasp the importance to the community of The Show. , ...Continue reading

18.01.2022 Agricultural shows provide precious insights into community life. Many, sadly, have been cancelled by COVID-19, including the 150th Dalby Show and the 111th Na...nango Show the Governor was to open this weekend, and next months Charleville and Brookfield Shows. While many communities cannot come together in the usual way this year, the Governor has released a special video message honouring the civic pride so wonderfully demonstrated at show time, a sense of community which will emerge stronger and ever more forceful.

18.01.2022 Crochet, knitting, weaving, woodwork, and blocksmithing are making a comeback globally as 19-30s reclaim old arts and actually TALKING with each other. Do you agree? Is it something that you've seen happening? Is it as Sue Lever says in the interview a way to become grounded? https://www.abc.net.au//handicrafts-making-a-come/10842436... If you are a knitter, crocheter, or any other type of craftsperson, enquire if there is a category at the 2020 Noosa Country Show for you, by clicking the Send Message on the right.

13.01.2022 , , We all know that Pomona is naturally beautiful town in the Noosa Shire where the annual Noosa Show is held each September (11th and 12th in 2020), but where did the name "Pomona" come from? We do know that when the township was established the government rejected the names "Pinbarren" and "Karura" (Cooroora), and the name Pomona was decided upon so as to not be confused with Cooroy and Cooran.... It also reflected the fertile land in the area. But how did the name "Pomona" relate to "fertile land"? As it turns out, "Pomona" was a goddess of fruitful abundance in Roman mythology, and her name comes from the Latin world "pomum" meaning "fruit", or more specifically "orchard fruit". Her priest was called "the flamen Pomonalis". Pomona was not associated with the harvest of fruit, but rather the flourishing of the fruit trees. She watches over and protects fruit trees and cares for their cultivation. In artistic representations of her, she is generally shown with a pruning knife, a platter of fruit, or a cornucopia. She is especially associated with apples, eaten as a sacred fruit by the Romans. There was a "sacred grove of fruit trees" dedicated to her called the Pomonal, where the flamen Pomonalis performed their duties, located 12 miles from Rome on the road to the ancient port of Ostia. !

13.01.2022 Not everything is being cancelled in September

13.01.2022 MEDIA RELEASE 21st July 2020 2020 NOOSA COUNTRY/COMMUNITY SHOW CANCELLED In September this year we were due to hold 111th Noosa Country Show which we had postponed to 24/10/2020 as a Community Show. Unfortunately, and after further lengthy discussions within our committee, along with Queensland... Ag Shows (formerly known as QCAS), our Show sub-branch, Noosa Council, major stakeholders and the best interests of the community during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have finally had to cancel the 2020 Show entirely. This decision has not been an easy one to make and I would personally like to apologise to everyone who has offered their support, help and enthusiasm with our scaled down Community Show we had planned for October this year. The new outbreaks of COVID-19 have created major issues for us to have to deal with and there is still no guarantee that we would be able to run the Show at all this year. It has been a very trying predicament for us to be in and one that will be ongoing for an indefinite period of time. The final contributing factor for us in cancelling the 2020 Show was the loss of $10,000s of dollars of funding that was withdrawn due to COVID-19. The Noosa Show Day is a gazetted public holiday, and we confirm that Friday, 11 September 2020 will still be a public holiday in the Noosa Shire.

The categories for 2020 have not yet been confirmed, but to give you an idea, last year they were the following. One rose. One gerbera, single any colour. One gerbera, double any colour.

10.01.2022 So many of our kids love their Guinea Pigs (cavies), and most believe their's are the cutest ever. They come in lots of different sizes and colours, and each has its own personality. At the Noosa Country Show, we are all about fun when it comes to the Guinea Pigs that are entered for judging in this category. These pets don't need pedigrees nor do they have to be able to do impressive tricks to win a ribbon. Instead our classes include:... / / / / ( & ) The Noosa Country Show takes place on 11 and 12 September 2020 (the 11th is Noosa Show Day Public Holiday), so there is lots of time for your kids to get excited about entering their Guinea Pigs, and to challenge their friends to enter their's as well.

05.01.2022 Today we began replacing much of our outdoor seating - how exciting! Our old timber seats had seen some good times, but needed to be replaced. We were fortunate to receive a grant to help cover the cost, and workers from the Noosa Community Training Centre (NCTC) came on board to do the work - the third crew to come to us as part of their Certificate 1 in Construction. (They are also painting the interior our camp kitchen.) Thanks ...guys! ?

01.01.2022 An important message from SGT Dan McNamara OIC Pomona Police, regarding Covid-19: Ill try and keep this short as I know were in overload with the barrage of m...edia re COVID19. It may seem almost un Aussie to stay home and abide by the current social restrictions, (particularly tough during such cracking autumn weather!) but the polar opposite is true and I ask you to consider the following, if only in relation to public gatherings. This virus is now capable of affecting anyone irrespective of age and health status, witness under age 50 doctor mortality rates overseas as one example and by ignoring all this advice, you could potentially transmit it unknowingly to a vulnerable relative or friend. Some recent patrols of parks and public spaces and talks with members of the public in the Pomona Police Division show theres still genuine confusion around the current COVID19 laws. Yes there are a lot of rules, but being aware of the basic current regulations and exceptions for public gatherings will help keep you safe and prevent unnecessary interaction with your local Coppers. Essentially, dont gather in public places such as parks for any reason except: To get food or essentials Medical or health care Physical exercise (no more than 2 unless immediate relatives such as a family etc) To perform work or volunteering that cant be done from the persons residence. Some people I spoke with today had bought food and coffee from local cafes and were eating it on local park tables, this isnt permitted as this gathering is not one of the above exemptions and the food should have been taken home. Why? Because there are about 8% of infected carriers that show no symptoms and this virus has shown it can remain on surfaces, such as metal and plastic, for several days. Enough people eat on public park tables and you stand a better chance of being in contact with the virus. Make sense? Finally, can I say that your local police are from and for the local community, were country coppers that would much rather have you play by the rules and avoid the plan B, which is a big fine. We wish you all the best, this situation is necessary but temporary so hang in there, be kind and work together, better days are ahead. Sgt Dan McNamara OIC Pomona Police 54801733.
