With the rain falling and temperatures plummeting, it was a genuine case of “for richer, for pourer” as Maleny Show organisers pulled off the wedding of the year and a two-day extravaganza against the odds.
Maleny Show Society secretary Lois White declared the event a success, with volunteers going all out to ensure events continued despite the sodden grounds.
Lois said a highlight was being a part of the 300 spectators who celebrated the marriage of Matt and Meg, held as part of the show’s “free wedding” competition.
“They spent the whole day at the show. I just could’ve hoped for a better day, but Matt and Meg didn’t care,” Ms White said. “They were so happy and couldn’t believe what we’d done for them. They were just such the right people for this.”
Lois said she was extremely proud of the committee’s resilience and gave a special thanks to exhibitors, sponsors, and all those who attended the show.
