ALL roads lead to the Maryborough Showgrounds today for the first day of the Fraser Coast Agricultural Show.
The two-day event, which wraps up tomorrow, returned to the region’s entertainment calendar after restraints around the pandemic scuppered last year’s festivities.
The 2021 edition of the show will be run according to a COVID-19 plan.
