Oakey Show Society president, Judy Byers, said tremendous support from local businesses made this announcement possible. She said due to drought, risk of fire and economic conditions the Show Society were not able to offer the entertainment in previous years. “Due to the generous support of local sponsors McLean Care, Coops Construction, McCormack Industries and QCWA Oakey, a fabulous display of fireworks and laser lighting will return to the Oakey Show Program on Saturday, March 13,” Mrs Byers said.

will continue to do so until the local paper is produced. The acquisition takes to five the number of mastheads to be produced weekly by OurNews staff.
