Mount Isa Rotary Rodeo Inc (MIRRI) had to be content with a silver award in the festival and events category in 2018 after taking out gold in 2017.
This year it was pipped by the Riverboats Music Festival in Echuca, Victoria but the rodeo thanked everyone who helped them bring home the silver.
“The MIRRI board, our rodeo team, all the volunteers, competitors, judges and rodeo fans,” MIRRI said on its Facebook page.
“Our Mount Isa Rotary Rodeo Inc (MIRRI) Board members and General Manager Natalie Flecker were super proud to pick up our second consecutive national award in Perth last night.”
Cobbold Gorge from the Forsayth area also picked up a silver in the hosted accommodation section.
