Allora show week this week ....... Heres a little history from 1907, the year of Alloras first two day Show. The twenty-third annual exhibition of the Central Downs A. & H. Assn. which took place on Wednesday and Thursday last, was an outstanding success, vindicating the decision of the executive to hold the show over two days for the first time. The entries in all sections touched on 900, an increase of 300 on last year. Close to 2500 souls passed through the gates during the two days. Grandstand receipts, however, were disappointing and were poor recompense for the large outlay the Association had made on that newly completed edifice. The usual complement of sideshows plied a brisk trade and the Methodist brass band discoursed sweet music at intervals. Tom Collins’ booths did booming business and Mrs. Collins provided a first class luncheon. All in all, the committee can feel well pleased with the outcome of the show.
