So fantastic for the region and local sport 👏

We’re in!

We’re thrilled to share that the Western Clydesdales will contest the HostPlus Cup from 2023 onwards after the QRL today announced our admission to the state league.

This is tremendous for rugby league across south-west Queensland.

See the new date for Hampton Food & Arts Festival

🌧️ 🌧️ IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 🌧️🌧️

Rain, rain, you’ve washed us away 😩. While we would never normally wish away any sort of valuable rain, unfortunately, timing for the forecast severe rain event isn’t great.

With the amount of water that’s already on site and the forecast for even more rain between now and Sunday, we have made the difficult decision to postpone Hampton Festival to Sunday 26 June 2022.

Executing a safe and enjoyable event is our main goal and we believe we will be better able to do this on a week where mother nature is smiling on us.

We are sorry to disappoint but thank you in advance for your support and hope that most of you will retain your tickets and join us for the new date on Sunday 26 June.

If you are unable to join us, we completely understand and will of course issue refunds where requested. 👌

We will email all ticket holders with more information regarding the new date and how to request a refund shortly.

EP 59 Out Now! a quick snapshot about what is good about this week out and about during carnival time🎧👇

Are you a local biz or just want to support all of us, sign the Toowoomba Chamber of Commerce petition👇

GIVE LOCALS A FAIRER GO Campaign

The Toowoomba Chamber is petitioning the Toowoomba Region Council to put local suppliers first by increasing the current local supplier weighting from 10% to 25%.

WHY?

Our members say the process of tendering for work with Toowoomba Regional Council is complex, costly, and difficult. Putting local suppliers first is a key policy lever that council have at their disposal to stimulate local economic development, enable businesses to flourish, and retain jobs in the city.

One way Toowoomba Regional Council can stimulate the region is by increasing the assessment value of local content when seeking goods and services to implement Council plans and events.

An increase in the number of locally based businesses and workforces that are awarded contracts means the money is more likely to be reinvested here, into other businesses, creating even more jobs.

Can anyone help?

Please share…

Dear Universe,
We need some help to make two girls’ dreams come true.

We need some amazing dresses that will make their eyes light up.

The first lady needs a size 8 to 10 burgundy straight line dress with thigh slit and thin straps.

The second lady needs a size 16 wider strap flowing gown preferably in gold but soft colours would be lovely too.

Time is of the essence as their special night is coming up very soon so if you could mark this wish with an ASAP that would be fantastic.

Please share our wish far and wide because we know that their dream dresses are out there just waiting to find their new homes.

Gay is happy for these special requests to come straight to her Jazzy Lane salon in 8 Duggan Street.
