Nanango Christmas Race Meeting
The Nanango Race Club will be holding their annual Nanango Christmas Race Meeting at the Lee Park Raceway off the D'Aguilar Highway just south of Nanango from 11:00am to around 5:00pm today. Today's races will have a "70s Flares And Big Hair" theme and everyone is encouraged to dress up in their best 1970s hats and/or accessories to be in the running for some great Moffatdale Ridge Fashions Of The Field prizes. The race club's popular Champagne@the Bit Bar will be serving up platters all day if you fancy a bite; a licensed bar and BBQ will be operating under the extended covered area; the race club canteen will be open for sit-down dining; children will be well catered for with face-painting and ice creams plus a visit from Santa Claus; and there'll be plenty of bookmakers and an on-course tote available in the betting ring to take your wagers. A lot of people like to use the Christmas race meeting for festive season parties and you're welcome to picnic on the lawns or even bring your own marquee if you like. This will be a 5 race meeting and buses will be running to the races from Kingaroy's Glendon Street Bus Depot (12:00 noon) and the Nanango RSL at 12:30pm. The first race will leave the barriers around 1:20pm but gates will open at 11:00am so go-getters can get a head start on that all-important socialising. Admission is just $10 for adults and $5 for pensioners (under-15s are free). Everyone is welcome! More details? Phone Rosemary on (07) 4163-2346 or email her.
Nanango Community Christmas Carols
Nanango's popular annual Community Christmas Carols will be held at the Nanango State School Auditorium in Burnett Street from 4:30pm to around 7:45pm this evening (carol singing starts around 6:00pm). There'll be community carol singing, candlelight and traditional carols as well as some fun Australian carols, along with amusements for children. Food will be available for purchase, too, if you get peckish. Nanango's Community Carols are always a really great night out for the whole family to celebrate Christmas, and it's completely free. Everyone is welcome!

Maidenwell Wood Chop
The second (and final) day of the inaugural two day Maidenwell Wood Chop will be held at the Maidenwell Sports Grounds from 6:00am this morning with breakfast at the Maidenwell Markets (see entry elsewhere on this page). This will be followed by the Post Rip finals at 9:00am, where contestants will vie for glory in the Major Open, Jack and Jill, Consolation and Local categories. After this, attention will turn from post ripping to wood chopping, and competitors will work their way through the heats and finals of four handicap events, as well as the final of a combination championship that will include current and former world and Australian wood chop champions. The Tanduringie State School P&C will be ensuring food and drink are available all day, and there’ll also be jumping castles and face painting to keep children amused. The Wood Chop is being run by the Maidenwell Community Group as a fundraiser for RACQ Lifeflight and free overnight camping is available in the grounds. Admission is also free and everyone is welcome!
