IF you enjoy a drop of pale ale then the Warwick Show has something for you.
The art of Home brewing dates back hundreds of years and “moonshiners” were notorious in the southern states of the USA.
But if you have what you consider the “best drop on the Downs” then bring it along to this year’s Warwick Show Home Brew competition where it will be judged alongside comparative beers, wines, spirits and liqueurs.
The entries close Thursday 20 March at 7pm, just bring them down to the Warwick Showground, Douglas Feez pavilion. This new section will be on display from Friday 21 March through to Sunday 23 March.
And while the home brew is new – another old favourite, the Woodchop event, is back.
Unfortunately, there was no wood-chopping competition at last year’s show but thanks to enthusiastic sponsors, this year Woodchop is back bigger than ever.
Watch the chips fly when the axemen from the Queensland Axemen’s Association race the clock in the Sustainable Buildings 300mm Block Championship.
There is a free Axe Throwing competition – open to everyone over 18 years old, so bring your axe and have a go.
All the action will be down on the flat near the food court and main Gerahty Bar on Saturday afternoon from 2pm.
If you are in awe for the bygone days – then come along on Saturday and watch the Harness Spectacular starting at 8.30am and going right throughout the day.
This exciting event will be held in Evans Paddock the classes range from precision driving to period turnout classes and there are classes for junior drivers.
All the classes are open to mules, donkeys and horses of any kind and this all culminates with a Parade of Horse Drawn vehicles to be staged either just before or after the Grand Parade at 2pm in the main arena.
