Proston’s 2019 Junior Miss Showgirl Jessica Jackson, Miss Showgirl Haylee Flint and Junior Rural Ambassador Chloe Scanlan … getting ready for a busy weekend at the Proston Show<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 25, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Proston Show Society began their countdown to the 61st annual Proston Show with a special High Tea on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The event was held at Proston’s Bowls Club, and a high point was the naming of this year’s Miss Proston Showgirl, Junior Miss Showgirl and Junior Rural Ambassador.<\/p>\n

Judges Tracy Reidy (South Burnett Show Society), Kate Roberts (2017 South Burnett Rural Ambassador) and Cr Roz Frohloff put eight entrants through a rigorous judging process before selecting the winners, who were announced by Proston Show Society president Tabitha Bleys.<\/p>\n

While guests tucked into a sumptuous High Tea prepared by Show Society members, Tracey introduced the entrants in all three categories, then announced this year’s winners and runners-up.<\/p>\n

Haylee Flint was chosen as 2019’s Miss Showgirl, Jessica Jackson as Junior Miss Showgirl and Chloe Scanlan as Junior Rural Ambassador.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tabitha complimented all eight entrants for competing in the program, and noted the judges had a particularly difficult time selecting among them.<\/p>\n

The High Tea was a new initiative for the Show Society which has been running dances at the Proston Community Hall the past few years as a curtain-raiser for the popular annual show.<\/p>\n

Former Show Society Secretary Glenda McArdle said the decision to hold a High Tea this year was prompted partly by a shortage of volunteers, but mostly by a desire to try something different.<\/p>\n

And it appeared to be a hit – at least with the Proston’s female residents.<\/p>\n

The bowls club’s main room was filled close to capacity by elegantly dressed women who enjoyed the tea, coffee and punch and a long table of sweet and savoury treats.<\/p>\n

Proston’s menfolk, on the other hand, seemed to prefer standing outside under the bowls club’s awning, catching a few light summer breezes and chatting at the bar.<\/p>\n

This year’s Proston Show promises a full day of family fun, with something to suit all ages and tastes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It will kick off at 4:00pm on Friday, March 8, with a Prime Young Judges competition, followed by the Young Farmers Challenge at 5:00pm.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, March 9 – the Show’s main day – the action will get under way early with horse events at 8:00am, followed by show jumping and a Dog Championship Show at 8:30am while stud cattle judging takes place.<\/p>\n

This will be followed by prime cattle and poultry judging at 9:00am, before the woodchops and chainsaw racing begin at 9:30am.<\/p>\n

At 1:00pm, competitors will line up for the Proston Stockman’s Classic, before the official opening at 2:00pm by BIEDO CEO Kristy Frahm, and then the Grand Parade at 2:30pm.<\/p>\n

In the afternoon, guest artists The CrackUp Sisters will judge a whip-cracking competition at 3:30pm, and the entrants in this year’s Ute Muster will face the judges about 4:00pm.<\/p>\n

During the day, children can enjoy Viv’s Farm Animals and Mandy’s face painting from 9:00am-11:00am and 2:00pm-6:00pm, along with dodgem cars and other amusement rides.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adults can laugh along with the CrackUp Sisters, who’ll be performing three 20-minute shows full of laughs and larrikinism at 11:00am, 4:00pm and 6:00pm, browse the pavilion displays or refresh themselves at the Show’s canteen and bar.<\/p>\n

And the whole family can enjoy the traditional fireworks display at 7:00pm, which will be followed by music from Sim Richards from 7:30pm until about 11:00pm.<\/p>\n

Show admission prices remain at $10 for adults, $5 for high school students and $3 for primary school students (under fives are free).<\/p>\n

A family pass for two adults and two or more children is also available for $25.<\/p>\n
