In our efforts to maintain a high standard and well balanced range of exhibits and outlets, it would be appreciated if you would provide a brief update/outline of what you have to offer. Please make note of this on your application form or attach a list before sending it in. This will help us to keep our records up to date. For a list of Banned Items see below.

14. CONFIRMATION OF SITE: As we receive many requests for the availability of sites and we only have a limited number to offer, we need your prompt confirmation of your site along with the necessary paperwork and payment.  Please see BOOKING CONDITIONS.

15. SHOW ENTERTAINMENT: The Show Society is this year for our Centennial Show planning to provide quality entertainment, over the two days and nights where previously the Show was mainly the Saturday. This Show will bring together the old and the new, with much excitement generated over the entertainment we are acquiring. As usual there will be a spectacular Fireworks display and on Saturday night the Show concludes with the Rodeo.

16. PAVILLIONS: As well as the usual entries showcasing our local talent, whether it is breeding programs of livestock, produce, or cooking, art, photography etc we will be having a much greater input by the local and surrounding communities school children in a variety of ways. So be on the lookout for what they have to offer. We are very excited at the prospect.

17. SHOW PROMOTION: The Show Society will again promote the Show in all forms of media throughout Woodford and the surrounding areas including our very own Woodford News Online (Mitz Pantic’s business) for those on the internet. We will also be advertising in the usual way via Kilcoy, Caboolture and Country Life Newspapers, Radio, and via our sponsors Moreton Bay Regional Council’s website. Mitz will have our Show Schedules printed well in advance and placed strategically for those requiring them. If you become a Member and pay an extra two dollars you will receive a copy  through the post and they will also be available via our website downloads at www.woodfordshow.com

If you are a New Exhibitor, please do not hesitate to make an appointment to visit the Showgrounds and see what possible sites we have available. See contact numbers at the head of this article.

Please be mindful that our trade spaces fill very quickly so you will need to get in early, especially for the Show in 2011 being a special event.

Thank you for your past and continuing support and we look forward to a harmonious working relationship between us that will flourish over time. If you have any ideas that you feel could benefit the Show and the Exhibitors mutually then please either submit them in writing or contact the Show Secretary.
