The annual Wanneroo Show was held last weekend. This beloved event has been a cornerstone of our community since 1909. It brings pioneers, families and friends together to celebrate the spirit of Wanneroo. WA Premier Roger Cook officially opened the show and it was attended by federal minister Anne Aly and state minister Sabine Winton.

Over the course of two vibrant days, attendees enjoyed a delightful array of activities, including stunning displays in the Margaret Cockman Pavilion, showcasing produce from our local market gardeners, arts and crafts, and floral arrangements. There was something for everyone to enjoy. The horse events captivated many, highlighting the rich agricultural heritage of our region. The entertainment was nothing short of spectacular, with live music and thrilling motorbike stunts, and even breathtaking skydivers. The dazzling fireworks lit up our skies each evening, and these moments of joy remind us of the strength and unity within our community.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Wanneroo Agricultural Society and all the volunteers, led by their hardworking president, Dot Newton, whose tireless efforts made this event possible. Her dedication ensures that we continue this cherished tradition. I'm very proud to be a patron of the Wanneroo Show and I look forward to its continued success for many years to come.
