Burnett Youth Council members have discovered that putting on a community event can be hard work, but also a lot of fun.<\/p>\n<p>The members, along with support from South Burnett Regional Council and local community groups, hosted a community day and talent quest in Kingaroy&#8217;s Memorial Park on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>There were stalls, games and an enthusiastic display of trick BMX tricks by the riders from JC Action Sports, who also shared positive messages with the spectators.<\/p>\n<p>One of the stars of the show was Kingaroy&#8217;s own Dylan Devitt who has exhibited his BMX skills at shows around the world.<\/p>\n<p>The Youth Council members are aged between 13 and 20 and were guided through the tasks of organising the day by Cr Danita Potter and South Burnett Regional Council&#8217;s community development officer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[Talent Quest photo courtesy of Mayor Kathy Duff]<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_373551\"
