The official re-opening of the Blackbutt Memorial Hall will be held on Saturday, October 7.<\/p>\n

The hall was moved to its new position near the Blackbutt Showground earlier this year to make way for the construction of a supermarket in Coulson Street in a deal done between the South Burnett Regional Council and a developer.<\/p>\n

The hall was moved in sections, rejoined on site, repaired and repainted.<\/p>\n

Council has undertaken to do landscaping around the building and construct a sealed car park.<\/p>\n

Blackbutt residents enjoyed a preview of the inside of the hall at the recent Avocado Festival when cooking demonstrations and other activities were held there.<\/p>\n

But on Saturday, October 7, the official re-opening ceremony will be held, starting with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony by South Burnett Mayor Keith Campbell.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The festivities will include a “Regional Gala Concert” featuring the Blackbutt Singers, soprano Calista Walters, the Nanango Theatre Company, Esk Sweethearts In Song, flautist Sam Kassalke and sopranos Linda Hall and Anna Walker.<\/p>\n

The Taromeo Country Music Club will also be providing entertainment.<\/p>\n

In addition, there will be an historical display and slideshow by the Blackbutt District Tourism and Heritage Association, raffles and door prizes, and a cash bar.<\/p>\n

Doors will open at 1:30pm for a 2:00pm start.<\/p>\n

Tickets should be bought in advance at the Blackbutt Visitor Information Centre in Hart Street.<\/p>\n

Adults are $10, concessions $8 and children accompanied by an adult are free.<\/p>\n
