May 23, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Large crowds rolled up for the 84th Blackbutt Show held on Saturday … and the weather and attractions didn’t disappoint.<\/p>\n

After a crisp start to the day, the sun shone brightly as visitors explored the many things on offer.<\/p>\n

A new competition for schools was introduced in the Cattle section.<\/p>\n

The Interschool Led Steer competition featured 22 head of cattle entered by students from Yarraman P-9, Proston P-10 and Kingaroy State High schools.<\/p>\n

The competition was tough as the cattle varied in age and development, but the eventual winner, “Ned Kelly”, entered by Kingaroy SHS, won high praise from judge Graeme Wicks.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Exhibit of the Show in the stud beef was\u00a0“Jen-Daview Mr Pinnacle”, from Jen-Daview Limousins in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

Mr Pinnacle, who picked up the Limousin Reserve Champion Senior Bull sash at the recent Beef 2018 in Rockhampton, was also named Supreme Exhibit in Blackbutt last year.<\/p>\n

He has been winning a number of awards around local shows recently, including\u00a0Senior Champion European Bull at the recent Gympie Show.<\/p>\n

There was also a large dog show, a big equestrian ring, an enthusiastic woodchopping competition featuring some of Australia’s best axemen, plus an evening of top entertainment, including stunt horse riding by Rooftop Express, fireworks and live music.<\/p>\n

The Timbertown Woodworkers also had a big display and working demonstrations in their shed.<\/p>\n

The show was officially opened by South Burnett Mayor Keith Campbell, who praised the people who served their communities by being willing participants in rural shows.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said shows were a celebration of agriculture in its many forms.<\/p>\n

He said the two most important things in the region were roads and water.<\/p>\n

“Roads and water will enlarge the agricultural development,” Mayor Campbell said.<\/p>\n

During the opening ceremony, Benarkin residents\u00a0Trish and Peter Argent – parents of Australian woodchopping champion Mitch Argent – were named as Patrons of the show for all their work over the years with the Show Society.<\/p>\n

Retiring Show Society president Jamie Marriott also introduced Charles Gibling, who has been nominated as the new president.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Marriott praised the people who stuck with him when the decision was made to knock down the old show buildings and replace them with modern sheds – a decision that was not popular with some people in the community at the time.<\/p>\n

But the end result was much better show facilities.<\/p>\n
