Blackall's first Miss Showgirl entrants in more than a decade were introduced at a cocktail party on Friday night, with plenty in town ready for the annual show.
The three young women - Jesse Stone, Erin Yore and Zoe Barron - were enjoying the experience of meeting everyone as they prepared for a day of show activities.
Local MP Lachlan Millar arrived after a long day of travel, being on the Friday Qantaslink flight that had to return to Brisbane, meaning he then flew to Emerald and hired a car to drive to Blackall.
Saddlebags Catering from Longreach kept party attendees well fed all evening while Toowoomba band, Special Guest got everyone dancing.
