Marburg Show Ball dances towards annual Show
NEARLY every week for the past 28 years, Ronda Palmer and her husband Kevin have travelled to Marburg for the dances.
But on Saturday night, it was the first time Mrs Palmer was awarded the Marburg Show Society's Matron of the Ball.
Travelling from Brisbane each week, Mrs Palmer said they always enjoyed the Marburg dances.
But the dance on Saturday had become much more special.
"I was really surprised, I just didn't think for a moment that I'd be in the running," Mrs Palmer said.
"They always have such a good crowd, so it is hard for anybody to win, not just me.
About 40 women contended the Matron of the Ball title, taking to the dance floor in front of the judges.
The society announced their 2016 Miss Show Girls, with Laidley lass Stephanie Knight awarded the crown.
