We’ve got plenty to keep the whole family entertained at this year’s Westech Field Days. Check out some of the great entertainment options below:
Get Gardening!
There are several gardening sessions being run over the two days with Phil Murray from ABC’s Gardening Talkback. Join Phil for an informative session, or visit the garden section on the eastern side of the wool pavilion throughout the day and have him answer your puzzling gardening questions.
Gardening Session Times:
Tuesday – 10am-11am, 2pm-3pm
Wednesday – 10am-11.30am – Winners of Barcaldine Regional Council garden competition will be announced!
Challenge the Kids
Have children under 10 years? Keep them motivated during the day by having them join in Westech Field Days’ Kids Challenge. The challenge, in the style of a scavenger hunt, will have the kids spotting special markers throughout the grounds as they endeavour to win the Kids Challenge cash prize!
Visit the Information Tent on arrival to get the children involved.
Fashions at the Field Day
Are you getting ready for the races or trying to match outfits to hats? Looking for a casual hat/fascinator or something more formal? This casual approach will keep you entertained! Join the 2 Mad Hatters at their fashion pop-up parade.
The fashion events will be taking place from 3:00pm – 3:30pm at site L12 on both days.
Westech’s Twilight Bar, BBQ and Band
Bring the whole family along to the Westech Twilight Bar on Tuesday night for a fun filled evening of food and dancing – located at the Barcaldine Saleyards.
Head down from 5pm and you’ll meet Luke & Cody Cook from ‘House Rules’, as they host an exciting live auction. Plus, you’ll be able to dance the night away with live music from the Jag N The Rollers.
Reptile Education
Knowing how to spot poisonous snakes and spiders has the potential to save lives in the bush. Join Creepy Crawlies at site H7 (next to the show pit) and ensure the whole family knows how to handle a slippery situation. The special Reptile Education Sessions will be running both days at 10am, 12pm, 2pm and 4pm.
