The Goomeri Lions Hot Chip Van is gearing up for this year’s round of shows – the first being the Proston Show on March 9, then Murgon on March 16 and Goomeri on March 23.
It’s going to be a busy month for the Lions – as long as Mother Nature co-operates in the plans!
We hope to see you at one – or all! – of the upcoming shows.
Goomeri Lions was also part of the recent “beach cricket” fundraiser at Goomeri Shorgrounds.
January’s mega volumes of rain in the Goomeri area left this small town devastated by the destructive force of Mother Nature.
To provide the townspeople with a bit of levity and fun, the Goomeri Show Society sponsored a “Beach Cricket” in the arena at the showgrounds, bearing in mind the nearest “beach” in the area would be the flooded sand hazards at the local golf course.
Several local teams were challenged by out of town ‘ringers’ to provide a great night for all who attended.
There was a huge raffle to support the efforts of the Goomeri Show Society to rebuild their demolished pavilion with a local shop owner winning the big prize of a trip away for five days to the Mantra Legends at Surfers Paradise.
More than $2000 was raised; with the Goomeri Lions Club donating the chip van’s $220 takings on the night and Kilkivan business Sambella Transport donating $500.
