Would you like to be a part of a fun and rewarding fundraising event?

The Proserpine A P & I Association is looking for interested, imaginative and energetic people to be a part of a Show Ball Committee for 2027. We say show ball because that is the event that has been run for the past few years. However, we are also open to new ideas for our fundraising events.

So, if you are not interested in running a show ball, but you have a spectacular new idea that you would like to be a part of, let us know. We are certainly looking for a variety of ideas to make use of our beautiful grounds AND keep our show and showgrounds going well into the future, and also some fabulous people to organise and run events.

Our association is not just about running the show. It’s about maintaining and keeping our grounds for our local community; something we are very passionate about.

Contact us at [email protected] and let’s see what we can all do together for the Proserpine showgrounds.

If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact the secretary on 0458451126 or treasurer on 0438670641.

🚜 WHAT A DAY, PROSERPINE! 🌮

Well, the Tractor Pull was an absolute success and what a great crowd to be part of!

From the whole Vandito Viesta family, we just want to say a massive and very humble THANK YOU to everyone who came along, supported the event and stopped by Vandito for a feed. 🌮

A special thank you to the Proserpine Showgrounds for all the work that goes on behind the scenes to make events like this happen.

And a huge shout out to the Whitsunday Old Iron Restorers Club. The time, effort and passion you guys put into keeping the old iron alive and putting on such a great event certainly doesn't go unnoticed. 🚜

To the competitors, volunteers, organisers, families and everyone who travelled out for the day, thank you. The atmosphere was fantastic and it was great seeing so many people out supporting a local event.

A special thank you as well to everyone who brought their cars along for the Show and Shine. It was wonderful to see people proudly displaying their pride and joy for the community to enjoy. The time, care and passion that goes into each vehicle was clear to see, and it was a real pleasure having them there as part of the day.

And to everyone who lined up at our little food van, had a yarn, grabbed a feed or came back for round two, thank you for supporting Vandito Viesta. It honestly means a lot to us.

We're only a little food van having a crack, and days like this remind us why we love doing what we do.
Good people, old iron, beautiful cars, great food and one bloody good day! 🤠🚜🌮

Until the next fiesta!

Much love,

The Vandito Viesta Family 🌮❤️

The 2026 Show Whitsunday is over for another year..... and what a weekend it was !

Whilst I do wish the weather had been a little kinder to us all - its the one thing we can’t control - we just have to deal with it and enjoy the challenge !

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the following people -

Firstly my hard working committee, who just get the JOB DONE year after year.

The amazing group of volunteers who give their time during Show weekend, but also in the weeks leading up, and then today, the aftermath and clean up .......
Volunteers are the heart of our SHOW. We could not do this without you !

To our Sponsors - I cannot imagine what a Show looks like without the generousity of our amazing sponsors - many of whom have supported The Show for many years.
There would not be a Show or Showgrounds without your support....

To those who attended & enjoyed the Show - you are the reason we do this every year.

Our Community is the reason we have a proud Show History, that is 113 years old.

My Heartfelt Thanks & Gratitude to each and everyone of you.

Tony Large
Show President
