Rotary Gala Ball To Celebrate Queens At Home Hill Harvest Festival

For one special evening, Home Hill’s Burdekin Memorial Hall will come alive with community spirit as guests gather for the Rotary Gala Ball, part of this year’s Harvest Festival. The event will feature live music, dancing, and a lively atmosphere, celebrating the people who contribute to the community.

Attendees will enjoy a formal sit-down dinner, mingle with fellow guests, and support local initiatives in a night that blends elegance with fun and generosity. The Gala Ball will also honour the Charity Queen, awarded to the queen who raised the most money throughout the Harvest Festival, and Personality Queen, chosen by judges based on club and district representation, following a brunch and individual interviews held on the afternoon of the ball.

Home Hill Rotary Club President Alf Musumeci says the annual event provides a chance to nurture local talent and celebrate the achievements of young women in the community.

"It's a great way to showcase some of the young, upcoming women in our community," he said. "And they get the benefit of learning to mix, learning to make a speech, and it gives them confidence."

Organised by the Rotary Club in partnership with the Harvest Festival committee, the evening brings residents and visitors together to enjoy camaraderie and community spirit. A licensed bar will be available throughout the night, and guests are encouraged to dress formally to match the gala setting.
