“It is with great regret that we have made the decision to cancel the ute show. We will personally contact those who have nominated in the next week to return their nomination fees and I apologise for any inconvenience,” she said. 

“I think it is just a busy time of the year and many people have prior commitments with the Boulia Camel races as it is on the same scheduled weekend.

“We will try to host the event next year. We still believe the event has merit and we have already purchased the trophies and medals. A suggestion has been made to try to have it coincide with another event in Mount Isa such as the Music Festival.”

Ms Brisbane is now focusing on her Arabian Night Dinner, which will be held on July 9. Limited tickets are selling fast. For those who still want tickets, they can purchase at Bella Duck, The Boss Shop or give Sarah a call on 0439430780.
