Hudson’s Circus were planning to bring their show to Kingaroy, but when the recent storms hit – and more rain was forecast – they decided to postpone their performances and refund ticket sales.
Instead, they held a special charity fundraiser show to help provide emergency relief for Kingaroy.
This show was held in Springfield on October 17 and raised $790.
Hudson’s Circus recently presented a cheque for this amount to the South Burnett Regional Council’s Human and Social Recovery Sub-Group.
A Council spokesperson said the Sub-Group would distribute the funds to an agency which had provided significant support to people affected by the October storm.
The Sub-Group will recommend a recipient to Council at the end of November.
“I wish to thank Hudson’s Circus for this very generous donation to our region,” Mayor Keith Campbell said.
“The continuing support we are receiving from within and from outside our community is humbling and very much appreciated.”
