Hundreds of entries in the Stanthorpe Poultry Club Show

The Stanthorpe Agricultural Society Poultry Club Annual Show was a success, with 231 entries penned from across Northern New South Wales and South East Queensland.
Adam Jannusch had the hard task of judging the beautiful array of birds on show.
The Grand Champion Bird of the Show was taken out by Ian Pask with his White Wyandotte Bantam Hen.
Recent maintenance and painting to the Poultry Club pavilion had being carried out by club members Wayne McCosker, Rod Spencer and Brian Palmer prior to the annual show.
Secretary Lyn Spencer thanked the members for their handy work as it made the job of the stewards on the day a lot easier in penning all the birds.
The success of the show would not be possible without the efforts of club president Luke Hancock, Ms Spencer, stewards and volunteers.
Julie Rappo, the winner of the raffle, appreciated the prize donated by Jester Hill Wines.
“We would like to thank everyone who attended, making it a great day. Don’t forget our annual auction will be held on August 27 and we invite everyone to come along,” Ms Spencer said.
