The Killarney Show has been postponed, the Management Committee announced today.
The committee stated online that “many factors were considered when making this decision, first and foremost, our responsibility to the health and safety of our community, members, volunteers and supporters”.
“The management committee believe that, given the current situation, this is in the best interest of all.”
The committee stated that they have been extremely fortunate to have been able to hold the show for the last two years.
Given the society’s inability to hold regular events over the last two years, the committee stated the financial impacts of a last-minute cancellation would not be something the society could justify.
The committee is still planning to hold the show, which will be the 110th Killarney Show, later in the year when they have been advised by the Queensland Chamber of Agricultural Shows of a new date.
“Due to the uncertainty of the times this may not be known for a few weeks or even months,” the committee stated.
The public holiday on 18 February will at this stage be upheld, as will the public holiday on 28 January for the postponed Stanthorpe Show and on 4 February for the cancelled Allora Show.
The committee thanked all the volunteers who have contributed to this year’s show, and their sponsors for their support.
“We look forward to celebrating our community, entrants and exhibits at our 110th Show.
“Until we see you again, please stay safe and healthy.”
