The 12th Annual Millmerran

Sheep Races will once again

be held at the local Showgrounds

on the last Saturday in August, the

29th, with an exciting new twist! This

year’s event has a Mexican theme,

so dust off your sombrero and join

the fi esta! Bring your family, friends

and colleagues along to enjoy this

fun family day out. Gates open

at 11:00am with free entry, and it

promises to be an action-packed,

memorable day.

The Millmerran Sheep Races,

proudly brought to you again this

year by the Mill Inn Tavern, promises

racing with a difference! We have

a six-race meet commencing at

1:00pm, starting with the Knight’s

Electrical Services classic. Following

this will be races sponsored by

Macquarie Wagyu, Glenmar Fuels, TL

& SF Vary, CMEFU, and Scott Folker

Plumbing and Gas. Buy your tickets

at the Farm Fresh Beef Cuts betting

arena, drawn from the Foodworks

Millmerran ticket barrel, for your

chance to win cash prizes. You can

also purchase tickets to go in the

draw to win a fantastic variety of

prizes in our super-draw raffl e, and

this year’s Lucky Door Prize winner

will be treated to a relaxing weekend

away at Mooloolaba’s Newport

Apartments.

The specially bred sheep, including

favourites such as Ewe-Sain Bolt

and Britney Shears, begin their race

down the track at the SizeCo starting

gate with their securely fi tted teddy

bear jockeys, battling it out to cross

the ADL Equipment fi nish line fi rst.

The day culminates with the

Downer EDI Commodore Calcutta,

where the fi rst two place-getters

from each race hoof it out in the

fi nal. The feverish pitch of expert

race-caller Mark Droney and the

enthusiastic cheering of the crowd

make for an exciting photo fi nish.

Purchase an armband for the kids

so they can enjoy a whole day of

fun in the kids’ entertainment area.

There will be an assortment of new

entertainment options available,

including the ever-popular laser

skirmish, merry-go-round, giant slide,

and the Batman Challenge infl atable

castle. This year, entry to the popular

animal nursery will be free, thanks

to the generosity of Judd Bros.

Contracting and St Joseph’s School.

Millmerran IGA will provide free face

painting and balloon art by Blossom

the Clown.

Feed the family an outback BBQ

expertly cooked by the Millmerran

Lions Club, or choose from a variety

of refreshments at the Shearers’

Kitchen. If you prefer the fi ner things

in life, enjoy yourself by relaxing in

the Millmerran Power Partners wine

marquee. Socialise whilst sipping on

a selection of wines, or experience a

touch of Mexican with a margarita!

Back by popular demand this year

is celebrity cook Lee Faulkner, who

will again delight the crowd with his

cooking demonstrations, sponsored

by Carinloch Cabinets.

Explore new trends in the fashion

parade, brought to you by local

fashion house, Maylee Boutique.

Be sure to come dressed in your

racing best, as the Millmerran

Power Fashions on the Field is hotly

contested with great prizes to be

won, including best dressed male

and female, contemporary male and

female, and best hat. Strike a pose

in the Sheep Races photo booth,

another exciting addition to this

year’s event.

Also sure to entertain is the

hilarious foot-race, the Toowoomba

Solar Centre Welly Waddle, where

contestants in colourful wellington

boots race down a Mexican-inspired

obstacle course with a full glass of

beer. The winners, competing for

prize money, are not necessarily fi rst

across the line…

The Millmerran Power Partners

bar is open from 11:00am and the

beer will fl ow until midnight. After

the Downer Calcutta fi nal, the sheep

retire and you can stick around to

enjoy dinner and drinks along with

fantastic musical entertainment by

a DJ, who is sure to get the party

started!

Powered sites are available at

the Showgrounds for caravans and

campervans for a $15 fee (contact

Jim Twidale on 0427957176). If

you are keen for a more authentic

camping experience, pitch a tent or

roll out your swag for free. There will

also be a courtesy bus running again

this year.

The

success

of the

Millmerran

Sheep

Races is

owed to the

dedicated

band of

volunteers who

work tirelessly to

coordinate this event, the generous

support of our sponsors, and the

attendance of race-goers who come

from near and far to enjoy the

hospitality that our small town has

to offer.

All in all, the 2015 annual

Millmerran Sheep Races promises to

be a day to remember!
