All in for festival fun

THE 2014 Warwick Rose and Rodeo Festival aims to provide family friendly fun for all ages with this year’s addition of two competitions aimed at younger children.
Warwick Tourism and Events CEO Tracy Vellacott commended an enthusiastic response from all the schools for the colouring competition that was launched in October.
“We would like to congratulate both the junior category winner, Almari Botha from Stanthorpe State School, as well as the senior category winner, Teliah McGee from Warwick East State School, and we trust they enjoy their prizes,” Ms Vellacott said.
“This year, winners received a trophy, a prize pack and an invitation to the VIP morning tea at the Rose and Rodeo Street Parade on Saturday morning, and they’ll be in prime VIP position to enjoy the Warwick Credit Union Street Parade.”
Winners were announced last Friday 17 October and all entries will be available for viewing in Rose City Shopping World from Monday 20 October.
“Another exciting child-friendly addition to the festival is the Best Dressed Rodeo Clown Competition, which will form part of the Street Carnival on Friday 24 October. All children aged between three and 12 are invited to enter our rough ridin’ rodeo clown dress-up competition. A prize pack is up for grabs, registration is free and starts at 5.45pm at the Town Hall with judging taking place at 6pm.”
Ms Vellacott reminds visitors that the 2014 Warwick Rose and Rodeo Festival is a feast of fun.
“Visitors are urged to keep their eyes on the media, newspaper, our website and Facebook page for updates on events and activities around the festival,” she said.
Some of the key activities outside the Rodeo program are:
* The Street Carnival from 6pm, Friday 24 October in Palmerin Street, Warwick.
* The Craft Market from 9am, Saturday October 25 in Leslie Park, Warwick.
* The Street Parade at noon on Saturday 25 October travelling from Queens Park to the corner of Percy and Palmerin streets and back.
