Why do you volunteer at the Queanbeyan Show? ​
​Being part of the Queanbeyan Show is about more than just volunteering; it's about building community spirit, creating lasting memories, and supporting our local agricultural heritage. I am proud to contribute to an event that brings people together and celebrates the best of what our region has to offer.

Additionally, the Queanbeyan Show serves as a fantastic platform to showcase our local agricultural scene. Agriculture is the backbone of our region, and it's essential to celebrate and promote it. By volunteering, we help highlight the hard work of local farmers and producers, allowing visitors to appreciate the fruits of their labor. The diversity of exhibits, from livestock to fresh produce, not only educates attendees but also fosters a deeper connection to the land and its resources.

Why do you volunteer at the Queanbeyan Show? ​
In 1996 I competed at my very first Queanbeyan Show on a pony that my Nan Mac had bought for me- his name was Frenchie and I was only 9months old.  Then in 2019 our 1st daughter competed at her first Queanbeyan Show on a pony called Barney- she was only 9months old too!  She is now 5 and has 2 little sisters who also love attending the Queanbeyan Show every year with their ponies.  The way my girls light up with excitement as they see the horses, rides and other kids means everything to me.  Being a part of that, helping to make those moments happen, fills me with pride and joy- that's why I volunteer at the Queanbeyan Show.

Why do you volunteer at the Queanbeyan Show? 
​The Queanbeyan Show unites the whole community in a fun-filled weekend. For some, it’s a time when they get to show their hidden talents in a variety of arts and crafts, baking, photography and even Lego building. For some, it’s the first time they realise where an egg comes from. For me, as a volunteer, it’s the pure satisfaction of seeing that joy and unity come to fruition.

Why do you volunteer at the Queanbeyan Show? ​
I volunteer at the Queanbeyan show because I want to support and continue the tradition of agricultural shows across Australia. I also love to see the community come together and enjoy parts of agriculture that many people do not have the opportunity to be apart of and experience regularly. Also, it's amazing to see all the happy, smiling faces and know that I was apart of creating them.
