Spotlight on rural ambassadors
THE main purpose of the returning Mossman Show Ball on June 21, 2025 is to recognise and celebrate the Shire’s young rural ambassadors, motivated young people who represent the next generation of rural leaders.
The ball is back after a hiatus of many years and the comeback has been warmly welcomed by Shire residents as it is being seen as an opportunity to come together in the wake of major change, honour the past and embrace the future.
With the agricultural industry evolving, these young front runners will play a crucial role in shaping the future, and the Show Ball will help shine a light on their potential and contributions.
It will ensure that the region’s agricultural heritage is not forgotten while also encouraging younger generations to take an active role in shaping what comes next.
The Mossman Show Ball will formally introduce and acknowledge each young rural ambassador on stage, highlighting their achievements, aspirations, and commitment to rural industries. They will be presented with small awards or certificates, reinforcing the importance of leadership and community service.
“The evening will be an opportunity to showcase our young rural ambassadors, these being youngsters who are passionate about their community and also support their community,” said Mossman’s youth development coordinator Brody Andrews.
“They will no doubt say a few words about themselves, on the night, as a way of introduction,” he said.
The evening is intended to highlight the achievements of the young rural ambassadors.
