As preparations ramp up ahead of the Burdekin Show, the Ayr Pastoral, Agricultural and Industrial Association has announced Queensland Cane Agriculture & Renewables (QCAR) as the naming rights sponsor for the 2024 event.
The QCAR Burdekin Show will take over the Ayr Showgrounds on Wednesday, June 26 for a day of agricultural, community and family fun.
“QCAR is a local organisation and shows, traditionally, are an agriculture-based event,” said Ayr Pastoral, Agricultural and Industrial Association President Chris Lyne.
“Cane is our dominant agricultural commodity in the Burdekin, so QCAR was a perfect fit.”
QCAR Office Manager Melissa Boulter agreed, saying the partnership is part of an exciting period of growth for the organisation.
“It’s an exciting time for QCAR,” she said.
“To be a naming rights sponsor for our local show is fantastic, to get out there and show that we are committed to the Burdekin.
“Our roots are firmly stationed in the Burdekin, and we just want to give back to our growers and their families and show them that we are Burdekin first and foremost.”
Mr Lyne leads a team of eight passionate committee members and countless other volunteers who, following a successful 2023 Burdekin Show that exceeded expectations, are looking forward to an even bigger and better event.
“We’ve got quite a lot this year, so it should be good,” Mr Lyne said.
“There’s something for everyone.”
The QCAR Burdekin Show is excited to welcome celebrity guests Steven Elliot from ABC TV’s ‘Muster Dogs’ and Trent Richardson from ‘Australian Idol’.
The day will also feature muster dog demonstrations, mower racing with the Townsville Mower Club, the annual tractor pull, pet show, dachshund races, grand parade and scarecrow competition.
Family favourites like sideshow alley and the pavilion displays will also be popular among attendees.
The show also features a ‘gate ticket special’, offering entry for $5 for all adults, $2 for all students, and children five and under free between 9:30am and 11:00am before standard prices apply from 11:00am.
