September 2, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wondai Show organisers are happy with the 2014 event despite a small drop in gate figures.<\/p>\n

Saturday was the main day of the show, clashing with the South Burnett rugby league and soccer grand finals as well as a host of other events.<\/p>\n

Wondai Show Society secretary \/ treasurer Liz Stewart said she had received some fantastic responses from exhibitors\u00a0but admitted she was a little disappointed in the gate numbers.<\/p>\n

“They were down but not by a large amount, we still had around 2000 people,” she said.<\/p>\n

She said the stud beef entries were up as were culinary, fruit and vegetable entries in the pavilion.<\/p>\n

“Floriculture was obviously hit by frosts and drought,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Needlework and handicrafts were also down a bit.”<\/p>\n

Ring events were popular, especially the miniature horses and the carriages.<\/p>\n

“I’d like to say a big thank you to chief ring steward Amanda Wagner who came on board just a week before the show and did an absolutely marvellous job,” she said.<\/p>\n

In the stud beef cattle, Ekka junior champion limousin bull “Jen-Daview Jayboy”, exhibited by Jen-Daview Limousins, was named Supreme Exhibit of the show.<\/p>\n

A chainsaw sculpture immortalising Charlotte, the late Wondai emu, was carved throughout the day by sculptor Matt George.<\/p>\n

This wooden statue will be raffled with the funds raised to go to the major project to erect a permanent steel sculpture in Wondai.<\/p>\n

The Wondai Show was officially opened by South Burnett councillor Kathy Duff.<\/p>\n
