Kingaroy Rotary Club president Wayne Bushell is well-known for his catering skills … this year he’s running a full-service cafe at Bookarama to feed hungry tummies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

September 17, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Patrons at this weekend’s Bookarama won’t need to go far if hunger pangs strike.<\/p>\n

This year, the popular two day book fair will be offering something more than the usual all-day sausage sizzle.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy Rotary Club will be running a cafe inside Kingaroy Town Hall, offering cafe-style breakfasts, lunches and snacks on both days.<\/p>\n

Bookarama is run by the Taabinga Rotary Club but this year Kingaroy Rotary Club has also come on board to help.<\/p>\n

The reason is that part of the proceeds of this year’s Bookarama will be going to help upgrade the walking track in the Kingaroy Town Common, a project that is dear to Kingaroy Rotary Club members’ hearts.<\/p>\n

The Bookarama Cafe will be overseen by Kingaroy Rotary Club president Wayne (‘Bushie’) Bushell.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bushie has catered at many Rotary events, including a memorable Movember night at the Kingaroy Town Common Hall a few years ago when his Sri Lankan beef curry won a round of applause.<\/p>\n

His most recent outing was at “The Sky’s The Limit” police charity ball in May when he and chef Eddie McGregor prepared a deluxe three-course dinner for more than 350 guests.<\/p>\n

“The Bookarama Cafe will have something for everyone,” Bushie said.<\/p>\n

“You can come early and get breakfast, then browse until lunch time and have another meal before you get back into it in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

“Or you can just take a break for some coffee and cake if you feel like it.”<\/p>\n

Bookarama will be held at Kingaroy Town Hall in Glendon Street from 9:00am to 4:00pm on Saturday, September 17, and from 9:00am to noon on Sunday, September 18. Admission is free. <\/strong><\/p>\n
