She is well known around Mackay after years of performances with Theatre Arts Mackay and spent last year completing a Diploma of Musical Theatre with the Davidia Lind Dance Centre in Brisbane.

[Longer-term, the keen dancer said she hoped to perform at the famous Moulin Rouge in Paris.]

Jessica's quest will culminate with an appearance on the festival float in the big parade on May 23. The quest winner will be announced during a Community Party.
