trial.<\/p>\n<p>The aim was to show artworks, host Devonshire teas and invite tours of the historic house on the first Saturday of every month; ie. coinciding with the markets at the nearby Nanango Showgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>Ringsfield House belongs to the South Burnett Regional Council and has been the subject of much debate since the not-for-profit group which used to be responsible for its management pulled out about seven years ago.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A new committee was eventually formed with Council&#8217;s help which organised Saturday&#8217;s open day in conjunction with Council staff.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As well as the artworks, Devonshire teas and tours, there was also live music in the grounds.<\/p>\n<p>Cr Jane Erkens said 250 scones were cooked on the day which means at least 125 people ordered Devonshire teas.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_354550\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-354550\" style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
