2021 Stanthorpe show attracts record entries, ‘sets standard’ with COVID-19 safety plan
Amid the cancellations of numerous agricultural events in 2020 and more already announced for 2021, the southern Queensland town of Stanthorpe bucked the trend by holding its 145th annual show this weekend.
Key points:
- Stanthorpe Show organisers say they’ve held the first full event of its kind under pandemic conditions
- Restrictions forced the cancellation of most shows on the 2020 calendar
- Travelling show workers said being back on the road for the first time in 10 months was an emotional experience
COVID-19 inspectors patrolled in pairs and an announcer warned patrons against breaching the event’s safety plan.
Through tears, travelling show worker Natasha Nilon said it felt “absolutely fantastic” to be back on the road after ten months.
