Despite rumours to the contrary, the Kingaroy Show is definitely going ahead this year … so mark April 30 and May 1 in your diaries!
The South Burnett National Show Society had reluctantly decided it would have to cancel the show due to COVID-19 entry restrictions and announced this, only to discover within a couple of hours that those restrictions were going to be lifted from April 14.
It was too late for last week’s Nanango Show – which still had to ensure all visitors and exhibitors were double-vaxxed – but it meant life would be a lot easier for Kingaroy.
So within minutes of Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk’s announcement, Kingaroy’s Show Society president Craig Lucas was on the phone to everyone with the good news: the Kingaroy Show is back on!
A Show Dinner was hastily planned for last Friday night at the Kingaroy RSL Club where the 2022 Kingaroy Miss Showgirl and Rural Ambassador were sashed.
The lucky duo are Miss Showgirl Candice Rackemann and Rural Ambassador Bianca King-Kogut.
The pair were congratulated by South Burnett mayor Brett Otto.
