MARTINIS, shaken not stirred and wall to wall sequins, were the order of the night last Saturday at Malanda Show Society's Casino Royale Ball in the magnificently decorated Show Pavilion.
The sell out occasion attracted guests from as far afield as Cairns, Walkamin and Herberton, as glamorous couples flocked to enjoy the cocktails, the food and the great music from "Careless" and a guest appearance from local talent "Jacynta'lee", which had everyone on the floor dancing the night away.
To open the night, the Queen and Princess entrants were formally introduced and delivered their well-crafted speeches about their involvement in the quest in front of their friends, family, sponsors and their community.
Delicious cocktails and tasty platters from Country Roads Kitchen - The Top Rail Catering followed, making for a fantastic evening and a show society delighted with the response from the local community.
The Casino Royale idea was inspired by the Malanda Show theme, Games of the world, originally selected in line with the 2020 Olympics and it seemed to strike a chord with patrons hungry for a taste of glamour.
The night was made possible by the countless hours of work by volunteers who transformed the venue and sponsors like Cam Duffy Autos and Duffy's Car Rentals.
Shakyra from Hide and Horns Photography added to the night capturing memories for all to enjoy.
