Cut Out Party Celebrates Sugar Industry

Growers, mill workers and everyone in between will be celebrating with a lively party as the crushing season draws to an end this January.

With the season extending longer than usual, many people in the industry will enjoy connecting with others and the broader community at the annual ‘Cut Out Party’ which is due to be held at the Proserpine Showgrounds on Saturday, January 14.

An opportunity to celebrate, unwind and connect, the party is set to attract big numbers once again this year.

“By the 14th of January they’ll be ready to let their hair down!” said organiser Amanda Hadlow.

“It’s a celebration of the industry as a whole and the impact it has on the region.”

The Peta Richards duo will be playing easy listening live music which is expected to get the dancefloor moving as the night progresses.

The ticket price includes drinks all evening, nibblies, a BBQ dinner and sweets plus entertainment for the children.

All proceeds from the event go towards a charity and this year the committee have selected RACQ CQ Rescue.
