A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT...
My last letter on this site was all about our 2020 Mudgeeraba Agricultural Show. We were all excitedly preparing and
looking forward to our iconic annual Show. As well as our traditional showtime favourites, several new and exciting forms of entertainment, interactive activities and displays had enthusiastically committed to join us on Show weekend, 26-28 June.
Fast forward to mid March 2020, the Covid 19 pandemic and subsequent ‘lockdown’, agricultural shows en masse cancelled their events. We didn’t. We immediately secured a postponement date of 2-4 October 2020, fully committed to the belief ‘THE SHOW WILL GO ON’!
After months of continued planning from home and watching the movement of the pandemic (as one would watch the stock market), along came government restrictions imposed on public gatherings. The Management Committee had to reconsider what the 2020 Show would look like. We decided not to compromise the reputation of our Mudgeeraba Show with so many restrictions imposed, and agreed to put on an ‘event’ - an agriculturally themed weekend for the public to enjoy and to help put some Show people back to work. We continued to work on this ’event’, ‘…….HOWEVER.......July saw a back flip of the pandemic recovery, starting in Melbourne and moving north.
Again, decisions had to be made.
SADLY, but in the best interest of everyone involved in putting on, supporting and attending the Mudgeeraba Agricultural Show, we cancelled our event for 2020.
HAPPILY, and with great ENTHUSIASM and EXCITEMENT, we move forward to our 2021 Mudgeeraba Agricultural Show - with planning and preparation well underway.
Looking toward 2021, we invite and encourage you all to join us as members, volunteers - or both. Check it out on our FB page, website or twitter. Follow the progression of Show planning, activities and events on the Showgrounds and membership activity via our social media outlets.
In the Show Spirit,
Ella Parsons, President
Mudgeeraba Show Society, Inc.
