September 30, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

COVID-19 restrictions over the past 18 months have badly hit the Booie Hall, with events – including its planned 90th anniversary dance last November – cancelled.<\/p>\n

This has forced the hard-working committee that runs the hall to look at new ways to raise funds, including holding car boot sales and hosting other activities.<\/p>\n

Glady Hood, from the Booie Hall Committee, told southburnett.com.au <\/strong>the group was basically “trying to keep its head above water”.<\/p>\n

The committee held its third car boot sale on Saturday, attracting a handful of sellers and a stream of mostly local residents checking out what was happening.<\/p>\n

“We have only managed to hold one dance since COVID struck,” Glady said. “And the band alone cost us $500.”<\/p>\n

Glady said the committee had been organising smaller things to celebrate the 90th birthday.<\/p>\n

“Eventually we will have a birthday celebration,” she said.<\/p>\n

An added attraction on Saturday was a display of 24 bridal gowns from across the past 90 years, a nod to the hall’s anniversary.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The oldest gown on show actually dated to 1926, worn by former Kingaroy resident Maureen Colquhoun.<\/p>\n

Committee members spent hours preparing the bridal gowns and other wedding-themed decorations in the hall for the one-day display.<\/p>\n
