August 31, 2012

The 2012 Wondai Show Miss Showgirl and Junior Rural Ambassador were presented with their sashes at a special gathering in Wondai last night.

The 2012 Miss Showgirl is Kristen Wenck, with Emily Rutledge named runner-up.

Brooke Rutledge was named the Wondai Show’s Junior Rural Ambassador.

They were presented with their sashes by the Chairman of the interview committee Richie O’Neill, who is the Sub-Chamber delegate for the South Burnett, and has just returned from the Brisbane Ekka after judging the Rural Ambassador competition.

The three girls received presents donated by Visual Image Hair Salon, Wondai Pharmacy and Tranquillity and Soul.

“We thank them for their continuing support,” Wondai API secretary Liz Stewart said.

“All three competitors are looking forward to attending and competing in this year’s show.”

NB. Miss Showgirl is usually named on the Friday before the show, but a decision was made this year to hold a special event on Thursday evening.
