IF cattle are not really your ‘thing’ and vegetables are a little bit ‘meh’ don’t despair, there is a smorgasbord full of revved up action sure to get your pulse racing.
Check out the ute muster around midday on Saturday near the pony club facilities.
We all know ‘that person’ whose pride and joy sports four wheels and an open tray out back.
Watch as ute lovers of all ages with flags flying show off their favourite automobile by driving it around the showground arena.
If your need is speed, perhaps the lawn mower races will float your boat.
Racing something typically used to keep grass in check may sound like a strange idea but it’s actually pretty neat to watch.
See competitors jostle for first place atop a ride-on mower on Saturday night.
Ride-on mower racing is a relatively new sport and started in Queensland 17 years ago with the Bundy Turfburners and the Sunshine Coast Mower Racing Club.
And the sport has grown rapidly throughout Queensland and Australia since then.
If you haven’t seen it in action, now is your chance.
Other adrenalin junkie acts include motocross demonstrations and the Minikhana Motorcycle Challenge.
These will be held in the main arena on Saturday night.
Historic speed cars and a demolition derby are all on the menu when it comes to adrenalin pumping, ground thumping entertainment.
Something exciting with its own kind of grunt are Noah’s Farm Pig Races.
These thoroughbred racing pigs have been entertaining Australians for more than a decade.
From a bugle call through obstacles, with the first porky snout to sniff the finishing trough – this event captures a crowd’s attention.
Why not stay until 8pm to watch the fireworks display?
With plenty of food choices it makes sense to have dinner and make a night of it.
From pet zoos to pumpkins, motorbikes to mowers ... everyone’s favourite thing can be found somewhere at the Boonah Show.
