Millmerran Sheep Races This Saturday
There are plenty of sheep and helpers to get them ready The Millmerran Sheep Races is a major fundraiser for St Joseph’s Primary School. We are a small school with 80 enrollments and the Sheep Races is now in it’s seventh consecutive year. The Sheep Races is a great family day and every effort is taken in making sure the whole family gets good value for money and that each member has a wonderful time. The children are catered for with side show alley style rides including sumo wrestling, face painting, bouncy boxing and of course the mechanical bull. The Macquarie Wagyu Wine Marquee promises to be a hit with the ladies with a fashion parade of woolen garments from AWI as well as the Fashions Of The Field with many categories. The Sheep Races are on this Saturday 28th August, gates open at 11am and the first of a six race program begins at 1pm. The calcutta draw and auction commence at 3.45pm and the final shall be run at 4.30pm. Our band Toowoomba’s “The Solitary Men” start playing at 5pm and will break while the mechanical bull competition takes place.
