Mackay Regional Show 20-22 June 2017

Once again Bucasia Beach Quilters were sponsors and stewards for the Mackay Show. Robyn and Deane handled all the meetings and arranging for judging and hanging of quilts and have done a most competent job. There was a revision and update of the judging catergories this year so that all quilts are catered for.  35 quilts were entered this year which made a fine display without the crowding of the previous year.
