MORETON CARNIVALS

Summer carnivals commenced in 1921 as a fund raising event for the Hospital. A Carnival Queen was elected for the first time in 1935 and for the next half century this was a much sought after honour before differing social attitudes among young women resulted in a lack of willing entries for the contest after 1985.
