Once again Burdekin didn’t disappoint last weekend.
The bagpipes were playing and competitors of various ages were enjoying the local highland dancing competition called ‘Sugarcane and Sword Dances’ at Burdekin Catholic High School’s Marcellan Centre. Competitors from Burdekin, Mossman, Mackay, Townsville and Brisbane took part. Fantastic to see the ‘Burdekin Youth Council’ members assisting with the canteen.
Burdekin Potters celebrated 50 years of ‘Creativity and Community’ at Plantation Park pottery. With hands on activities, demonstrations, giant birthday cake and the grandkids treasuring the pottery ‘Lucky Dip’. There was pottery activity going on all over the weekend. It was a tribute to the current and former members.
The talents of the Burdekin youth came to the fore Saturday afternoon/evening with Burdekin Catholic High School’s performance of Moana JR at the Burdekin Theatre. Engendering the youthful Burdekin talent is always tremendous to see. The Burdekin Theatre is a true treasure of forethought from previous council administration and the local community.
Hudsons Circus came to town at end of week/weekend at the Ayr Showgrounds and what tremendous entertainment it was. Small and Big kids alike enjoyed the variety and skill on display. It was a fine example of their team working together from one moment performing trapeze, to selling popcorn to performing heart-stopping balance acts and precision motor bike riding in the Globe of Steel.
Gospel Sunday afternoon/evening at the Burdekin Theatre Forecourt was a great way to end the weekend with soulful singing, inspirational music and contemplative words of inspiration and challenge.
Some upcoming reminders about ‘Stand Up Sleep Out’ – youth against homelessness event at Burdekin Catholic High School Friday August 8. Burdekin Brass Band hit the Burdekin Theatre stage again at ‘Burdekin Brass Live’ Sunday August 10.
Makes me proud as a councillor to see community facilities being utilised throughout the shire. Non-toxic smoke testing of the sewer network and Flying Fox monitoring continues and animal registration renewals are due by end of today.
Great to see the ‘Cowboys’ men & women have wins
Health and happiness, Councillor John
