This year we are planning on having laughing clowns, fairy floss, face painting, water ground-slide (so a towel and dry clothes is a must), and hopefully, either a jumping castle or Timmy the Train, whose owner is away on the show circuit at this time. The kids can also meet Pineapple Pete, who will be walking around the area greeting everyone! We also have swings and a playground on site. Each year we have many and various, Market Stalls where there you can pick up some incredible homemade treasures! There are also a different range of food stalls available if you don't feel like bring a picnic lunch! If you have a product you would like to sell and would like to join in, please contact Rhonda at schwarzee1959@gmail.com. Please inform Rhonda of your product, so she can let you know if there are spaces free. You will need a current Stall Holders Insurance Policy, your own 3x3 Gazebo, table & chair, and provide hand sanitiser at your stall. No electricity is provided. Stallholders set up early, ready to start trading at 9am.Stallholders only can enter the Park from Community Crescent. The Rollingstone Lions Club also run a bar and hot food stall, with the yummiest of hamburgers! Alcohol will be on sale at the Lions Bar. No personal alcohol being brought in, please. We will also have a gold coin collection going to support a local charity or a local support group. The Festival Committee has a Memorabilia Stall for all things Pineapple run by the lovely Sue, who has put together a Recipe Book with heaps of pineapple recipes. The book also features a history of the Rollingstone area, which is worthwhile reading! Each year the Festival has displays from other community groups and the Australian Army. We have classic cars and tractors, the Thuringowa Pipe Band, and the 3 Cav RAR bring vehicles for the community to check out and often join in the games. The games include; Tug-Of-War, a Pineapple Throw, a Tractor Pull, and a Pineapple de-topping Competition. Feeling adventurous? You can join in as well! Our pineapples and other fruit and veg are local farm products. The farmers and Paradise Pines Packing are one of our major sponsors for the Festival. This year's harvest will be a great one, and the pines are lovely, so make sure you bring a nice big bag and buy heaps of pines! See you all there!
