So get ready for a fun day of racing on June 5, gates open at 12 noon with the first race to start about 1pm, the day will end at 4.30pm.

Entertainment from two local emerging artists
Local musicians Ally and Sarah will be performing throughout the day. The country music duo are sisters with soulful songs and impeccable harmonies.
They recently released their new EP Stronger, but they will perform other artists’ hits on the day unless originals are requested.
Enjoy a glass of wine or beer with a few friends
While you’re welcome to bring the kids, farmers Penny and Dave are also happy for you to come without them and book a babysitter for a relaxing afternoon!
Available on the day will be cheese platters to purchase, and a pig on a spit, as well as Penny’s delicious coffee!
And there will be a bar operating also so you can sit back and enjoy a few drinks and laughs with friends.
The animals!
The races are being held in the fresh air at the charming Ewe Nique Hobby Farm which has sheep, alpacas, peacocks, chickens and goats.
You can see the animals while you’re at the races and you’ll also get the chance to see the sheep parade around before each race to help you pick a winner.
And the lambing season has begun with cute babies being born!
Games and fun
Penny and Dave will keep the afternoon fun with games including sack races, horseshoe throwing, sweep stakes and more throughout the day.
There will also be a final race with all the previous winners running against each other to find the fastest sheep, and there will be a fashions of the field with the best flat footwear the winner.
Win a prize
Every entry ticket will give you $100 Monopoly money to faux bet on the sheep races held during the day. At the end use your faux winnings to bid on some great donated prizes – the catch is you won’t know what you’re bidding on!
So what are you waiting for, grab a few friends together for a fun afternoon in the country.
