A Queensland Week Family Fun Day being held in Blackbutt on Saturday will go ahead regardless of the weather.<\/p>\n

Organisers said on Friday it seemed unlikely the South Burnett will experience the extreme weather conditions forecast for the coast.<\/p>\n

But if any rain does fall in the timber towns, they have wet weather plans to cover any contingency and plan to hold gumboot throwing competitions to celebrate.<\/p>\n

The day, which is being held at the Blackbutt Showgrounds at the end of Hart Street to mark Queensland Week, will feature four different events.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Activities will kick off at 8:00am with a free community breakfast accompanied by music from local duo Ausphonic.<\/p>\n

This will be followed until noon with a Giant Car Boot Sale in the grounds which will include free entertainment for children and music by the Taromeo Country Music Club.<\/p>\n

Organisers said car boot sale visitors can expect to find lots of bargains and some quirky amusements, including a trailer load of genuine antiques and Zachary The One-Eyed Wonder Dog,<\/p>\n

After the car boot sale winds down, Indigenous artist Glennys Briggs will be holding a two-hour art workshop at Nukku Nook near the Showgrounds’ entrance between noon and 2:00pm.<\/p>\n

And at 6:00pm on Saturday night, she’ll be appearing at the Showgrounds in concert with country music legend Chad Morgan as part of “The Muirs”.<\/p>\n

Tickets to the evening concert are $10, and there’ll be a licensed bar and food on site.<\/p>\n
