WRAP up warm and head on out to the annual Tenterfield Lions Cracker Night at the Tenterfield Showground on Saturday.
The popular event, which starts at 4pm, is a chance to enjoy fireworks, music and food.
One of the highlights of the popular event is the highly creative Fire Drum competition with competitors creating some amazing “fire drums” over the years from planes and trains to just about anything else that can be imagined.
And it’s worth entering too – the open class carries a perpetual trophy for the year as well as $300 for the winner, $100 for second place and $50 for third.
The winner of the family class will earn themselves a two-night superior room stay at the Paradise Resort Gold Coast plus $200 in spending money while second prize is a well-stocked hamper sponsored by the generous business community of Tenterfield.
This year’s event will feature a monster fireworks display from Skylighters Fireworks at 7.30pm as well as a huge bonfire.
A bar and food stalls will be in operation throughout the night and entertainment will include live music and displays by local schools and community organisations as well as a performance by the ever popular Brisbane band Sweatshop.
There will attractions and activities for kids – young and old – and a great gate prize of a hamper donated by Tenterfield Business Houses.
Gates open at 4pm and entry is $10 per person or $20 for a family of two adults with two school age children.
