Well, I would have to say yesterday was the best day because it was the shortest day of the year, and you know what that means now? More sunshine! I love it.
Why?
We’ve really got it lucky right now around Mackay and the Whitsundays. Yesterday we wrapped up a big three days at the Mackay Show. I don’t think I’ve eaten so many buckets of chips in one day, more than I ate on Sunday at Finch Hatton for the annual Pioneer Valley Show. That was incredible too.
I’ve been very lucky to have been asked to come up each year and jump on the microphone at the Finch Hatton Showgrounds to be their ground announcer. That’s the job that Angus used to do for a hundred years before he retired, and now I’ve assumed the role, but there’s one difference. He knew a lot about animals. I know nothing. Each year I just wing it and have some fun. I hope I made a few people smile on the day anyways.
On that note, Show Whitsunday is on today and tomorrow in Proserpine, so check out all the fun, and then we’ve got a break until August when it’s the turn of the Sarina Show at the showgrounds to come alive. How lucky are we right now!
If you are looking for something great to do in Mackay as well this weekend, check out the Be Social Fest on tomorrow at Harrup Park with a full lineup of bands including Grinspoon making some great noise in South Mackay. There’s no excuse to stay at home this weekend.
Next weekend we’ll be at the Bluewater Quay for our huge Riverfront party. That’ll be a great Saturday, then the Mackay Festival of Arts pretty much starts up with so much entertainment over a few weeks including the biggest day at Queens Park with the Food and Wine Day. It’ll be massive with Conrad Sewell here in South Mackay! Don’t miss it.
As you can see it’s a busy time of the year. Get out and have some fun and enjoy each other’s company.
You can join Rob Kidd from 5am weekday mornings on 4MK 1026 AM in Mackay and Proserpine, 91.5FM in Airlie Beach or just ask your smart speaker to play 4MK on iHeartRadio!
