A journalist and a farmer were sashed as this year’s Kingaroy Miss Showgirl and Rural Ambassador at a special show dinner at Kingaroy Showgrounds on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Jessica McGrath is the 2019 Miss Showgirl and pig farmer Brigitta Knopke is the Rural Ambassador.<\/p>\n

Cricketer Nathan Howard-Osborne was runner-up in the Rural Ambassador contest.<\/p>\n

Amber Seng, 13, was sashed Junior Miss Showgirl and Year 10 Kingaroy State High student Jack Hall was chosen as Junior Rural Ambassador.<\/p>\n

Judging was carried out by Maree Taylor and Sue Wilson, from Jandowae, and South Burnett Deputy Mayor Kathy Duff.<\/p>\n

The function attracted about 60 guests including last year’s Miss Showgirl, Courtney Burrows, who helped sash the winners.<\/p>\n

Compere Graeme Wicks quizzed each of the entrants about why they\u00a0wanted to be sashed in their chosen category.<\/p>\n

These ranged from “wanting to challenge myself” to “being part of my community” and “wanting to support country traditions”.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, Kingaroy Show Society president Gary Barron thanked the night’s guests and entrants, and the volunteers who had worked hard to put the event together at short notice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gary said he was confident this year’s Kingaroy Show would offer “something for everyone” and families would find it good value for money.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy Speedway will run on the Sunday night – included in the ticket price – and the show will have most of its regular attractions, including the largest sideshow alley in the region.<\/p>\n

The Kingaroy Show will be held on May 4-5.<\/p>\n
