High Tea – A Magical Success
THE 2022 Babinda Harvest Festival High Tea was a raging success and an excellent opportunity to introduce the princesses to the public. As years go by, the High Tea keeps increasing in attendance. And in 2022, with an attendance of over 200 guests, the Harvest Queen entrants were introduced in the beautifully decorated RSL Hall by China and Lace Vintage Catering to fit the theme of Magical Wonderland. For the High Tea, there were all sorts of delicious treats supplied by volunteers, and the princesses showed their skills with baked cakes and slices for the participants to be enjoyed and then vote for their favourite. During the magical afternoon, guests enjoyed tea and delicious snacks in an almost fairytale-like environment and got to know their future Harvest Queen more in-depth. The princesses were required to make a speech, and the 2021 Harvest Festival Queen, Casey McCrae, asked questions to all the candidates so the community could get to know them better. It was a magical afternoon for all, and now we get closer and closer to the crowning of the 2022 Harvest Festival Queen. This year’s panel of judges with the challenging task of picking a Queen from the wonderful princesses are Donna Smith, Dani Kruckow and Monty Arnez. This year’s princesses are: Bethany Binks Kealy Ganly Lacey Thomsett Brooke Destro Roisin Stager Georgina Stone Selena Houghton The 2022 Harvest Festival Queen will be crowned on the festival’s main stage on October 8 at 4.50pm. A Magical tradition The 2022 Babinda Harvest Festival is back and better than ever with the theme Magical Wonderland. An iconic and traditional event that celebrates everything local, the Harvest Festival was first held in October of 1962; back then, it was known as the Babinda Sugar Harvest Festival and was presented by the Bellenden Kerr Junior Farmers. By 1987 it officially changed its name to Babinda Harvest Festival and although the Festival has gone through many changes and has seen many Queens, the essence of it stays the same, an event by the community, for the community. This year’s Magical Wonderland will see a collection of events for the whole family, with the main event happening on Saturday, October 8. On Saturday, October 8, attendants can enjoy anything from a fantastic range of food, a vintage machinery display, competitions (photography, Lego, painting, drawing, etc.), an orchid display, a competitive game of tug of war, best-dressed pets, and the unmissable crowning of the Babinda Harvest Festival Queen. There will be special activities for the kiddies, under 5s and for the 5+, from face painting, a petting zoo, inflatables, jumping castles, a climbing wall, laser tag, and so much more. So come along and support local businesses, local talents and local tradition this October. Entry costs $10, and kids under 18 have free access.
