The 18th annual Wine and Food in the Park Festival was launched in style on Friday night with a special “Style With The Stars” evening.<\/p>\n

For the past three years the festival has held a gala event under the stars at Memorial Park in Kingaroy, and they’ve grown to become a social high high point of each year.<\/p>\n

For a change, the evening switched this year to the Kingaroy & District Machinery Club premises at Kingaroy Airport.<\/p>\n

It featured a 1950s rock’n’roll theme and guests also had the opportunity to enjoy a special tour of the Kingaroy Observatory across the road.<\/p>\n

A pair of Chevrolet hotrods parked at the front of the clubhouse added to the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Inside, South Burnett wineries served up the wine, while members of the Machinery Club kept the main bar running.<\/p>\n

South Burnett chef Mike Giles, from OMG Catering, kept up a continuous flow of canapes through the night to keep the guests fed.<\/p>\n

Saturday, of course, is the main day for Wine and Food in the Park.<\/p>\n

Gates will open at noon at Memorial Park in Kingaroy. Entry is $20 – the same price for a number of years – and early arrivals will have the opportunity to get some special extras.<\/p>\n
