The first of our 110 shows was held in Woombye just five kilometres south of the Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show's present home in Nambour on the 3rd of June 1900. 1 500 people attended this momentous occasion and gate takings for the first day was recorded as 23-19-0 pounds. The first Show featured a small ring with seats around the perimeter made from rounds of timber blocks and fitches of waste timber. A Pavilion was built of forked posts and round bush timber to house displays of cooking, needlework, school work and floral art. Under the pavilion there was fruit and farm produce. Only three side show alley rides were included, one being a Merry Go Round. In 1909 and 1910 the Show was established at the present day Showgrounds at Nambour with an abundance of room, large ring and pavilion and close proximity to town.
