The Kingaroy Information Art and Heritage Precinct volunteers celebrated a busy year at the Precinct with a Christmas party at the weekend.
During the celebration, Cr Damien Tessmann, acting on behalf of Mayor Wayne Kratzmann, presented Joyce Nicholls with a special award from Tourism Queensland for her 30-year contribution to the tourism industry as a volunteer.
“Joyce Nicholls has been volunteering at the Visitor Information Centre in Kingaroy since 1984, never missing the opportunity to share her local knowledge and help visitors to enjoy their stay in our region,” Cr Tessmann said.
The 35 volunteers working at the Precinct during 2014 looked after more than 15,000 visitors to Kingaroy.
Each volunteer contributed more than 200 hours this year to keep the doors open and visitors smiling.
The Precinct, which is located across from the peanut silos in Haly Street, will be open over the Christmas-New Year break with free entry to the regional art gallery and museum.
