Another cracking show
WITH another successful iteration of the Cairns Show being wrapped up, the focus is now on preparations for the show’s 120th anniversary.
Despite the cold snap last week, a little over 67,000 residents crossed the gates at the Cairns Showgrounds to celebrate another year of the Cairns Show with classic entertainment like FMX shows, pole climbing, the beloved sideshow alley with two new rides and the animal shows and exhibitions.
As the show association wraps up another year of the show, the focus now turns to 2025 for the 120th anniversary of the Cairns Show.
“Although we haven’t done the last count yet, we’re up to 67,400 people which is 2000 more than last year,” said the show’s president Ian Allen.
“Our animal exhibitors are also really happy with the result this year, the dogs, the cats, the cattle and the nursery had the biggest amount of visitors this year.
“We have our post-show meeting next week where we’ll run ideas on how to improve for next year which will be our 120th show and we’ll start working on what we can do to make it a bigger and better show.”
The plans should be finalised by January next year.
