6th Annual Reef & Beef Extravaganza - Ironpot

The 6th annual Reef & Beef Extravaganza will be held at Ironpot Hall in Ironpot from 5:30pm onwards this evening. This all-you-can-eat event will offer guests as many prawns, oysters, Moreton Bay bugs, scallops, whole cooked Red Emperor and pan-fried reef fish fillets, rib steaks and BBQ rib fillet steaks as they can pack in, along with salads, vegies and dessert. There'll also be a licensed bar operating too, plus live entertainment. It's been a year since Ironpot last digested a Reef & Beef Night but it'll be a fantastic event (as it always is). And if you'd rather be driven than drive the 55km from town, there'll be a bus running from Kingaroy for a small extra fee. Tickets are $65 per head for adults, $40 for high school students and $15 for primary school students and you can book them by phoning Sonya on (07) 4164-8142 (ahrs) or (0428) 648-142, or Hook on (0428) 648-244, or by emailing them. Be quick, though! Numbers for this popular community fund-raiser have risen every year (from 140 in 2009 to more than 300 last year) and places are limited.
