The new committee is working very hard to ensure we have a fun, affordable Christmas Carnival here in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I enjoy attending the Christmas Carnival every year, and helping to sell raffle tickets, and I am really glad I could help support their efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy grants are also open to individuals attending sporting or other representative events and Jayde Novak, a Year 12 student here in Kingaroy, certainly stood out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jayde will be representing Queensland at the National Interschool Equestrian Titles in Sydney this month and this grant will help her on her way to this competition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would like to encourage more local groups to apply.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The next round closes on March 30, 2017, so there\u2019s plenty of time to send through a submission.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are three rounds each year and four successful applicants from around the Nanango Electorate are selected in each round.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe grants provides an opportunity to show my support, thanks and appreciation for all our hardworking volunteer groups who make such a difference for our community.
