The Wondai Show Society kicked off its annual Show celebrations a week early on Wednesday night with the judging and sashing of Miss Wondai Showgirl and Junior Rural Ambassador for 2015.<\/p>\n

Caitlin Routledge, from the Wondai Newsagency, is this year\u2019s Miss Wondai Showgirl; Georgia Hebblewhite, a Murgon High School student who wants to study law at the University of the Sunshine Coast is Miss Showgirl Runner-Up; and Amber Spicer, a Year 10 Murgon High student who one day hopes to have a career in primary school teaching, is this year\u2019s Junior Rural Ambassador.<\/p>\n

The three girls are the latest representatives in a tradition that stretches back 92 years to the first Wondai Show Queen and Princess, who were selected in 1923.<\/p>\n

Judges Chris Radunz, Mike Phillips and Gaye Hobbs put the five entrants in this year\u2019s competition through their paces before announcing the three winners at a special function held at the Cecil Hotel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While judging took place, compere Noel Selway entertained guests with a brief history of the competition, which began with Show Queens and Princesses before it morphed into Miss Showgirl in 1983, and for a few decades also included a “Mrs Wondai”.<\/p>\n

The winners were sashed by Cecil Hotel licencee Paul Anderton, assisted by former Miss Proston Showgirl Cr Kathy Duff.<\/p>\n

All the entrants were given a bouquet, and the three winners also received a suite of prizes supplied by this year\u2019s Miss Wondai Showgirl quest sponsors: Wondai Pharmacy, Wondai News, The Cecil Hotel, Tranquillity and Soul, Sasswear, The Look and the Wondai & District Garden Club.<\/p>\n

Wondai Show Society secretary-treasurer Noreen Brier said she was “very excited” about this year\u2019s show, which will get underway next Friday, August 28 with a dog show, the judging of pavilion entries and the Young Judges and Handlers competition.<\/p>\n

However the main day, as always, will be Saturday.<\/p>\n

Gates will open at 8:30am and organisers promise there\u2019ll be something for everyone.<\/p>\n

As well as produce displays, arts and crafts, photography and machinery, there\u2019ll be sideshow alley, spinning and weaving demonstrations, woodcrafting, and a full range of agricultural competitions including chainsaw racing.<\/p>\n

There\u2019ll also be a big roll-up of cattle, an expanded ring program and the long-anticipated return of woodchopping competitions, which this year will be overseen by Australian tree-felling champion Bryan Wagner.<\/p>\n
