Saturday, 18th February promises to be a great day at the show with something to excite everyone both young and old.
Returning to the Clifton Show for the first time in a couple of years are the sheep dog trials.
Who doesn’t like sheep dog trials and the competition begins at 7am.
The judging of the cattle competition begins at 8am where some of the best livestock in Queensland will be put under the judge’s microscope.
Equine events are next on the program including the exciting showjumping competition where local riders are keen to show their skills and that of their beloved horses.
9am sees the Championship Dog show, then at 10am in the main arena, a glimpse of transport from days gone by, as the Horse Harness competition takes centre stage.
For something totally different, students from the local primary schools will again compete in the Battle of the Brains at the new time of 4pm.
Country guys and gals love their utes and entries for the Best Ute competition can be lodged from 9am till noon with judging beginning at 12.15 and will no doubt include a variety of models lovingly prepared by owners for the competition.
It’s probably time now to grab a bite to eat and all those usual show food outlets such as burgers, chips, ice creams and wood fired pizza will be available as well as a cold beer or any other beverages you may require.
If a nice cold and super healthy smoothie is what you desire, then the CWA stand in the Pavilion is the place to be as Lacey Lee the Facilitator for the CWA on healthy eating practices will be making super healthy smoothies, some with exotic fruits like the dragon fruit.
The rodeo begins at 5pm in the rodeo arena with barrel racing, bronco riding and bull riding. It’s bound to be exciting. That takes patrons through to what all the kids have been
