Emma-Lee Forster-Jones travelled from Murgon to watch the Cooyar Rodeo last year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>September 29, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The annual South Burnett and Cherbourg On Show long weekend festival will get underway on Friday &#8230; here&#8217;s a quick guide to what&#8217;s on!<\/p>\n<p>New additions this year include a photography competition offering $2000 in prize money; an art competition offering $8000 in prize money; an RACQ LifeFlight Family Fun Day that will see local councillors and police get dunked; an open air movie night at Goomeri; historical activities and a branding night in Proston.<\/p>\n<p>The South Burnett and Cherbourg On Show festival will feature more than 40 events from Cooyar to Goomeri and Proston, between Friday and Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Most are free or have a modest entry fee, and several culinary events are &#8220;pay as you go&#8221; affairs at normal prices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SBCOS president Kathy Duff said she was very excited about this year&#8217;s festival, which is designed both to draw visitors to the region, and to encourage local residents to stay in the area rather than head off to Brisbane or the coast.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our festival comes at the end of the Spring school vacation when many families are finding their budgets have been stretched, so the focus is on free or low-cost activities,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We also have a strong emphasis on family-friendly events where adults can have as much fun as the kids.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The aim of having so much on offer is not to try to cram everything in, but to give everyone a wide choice about how they can spend their time, and this year I think we really have something for everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Full details about each event are on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sbconshow.com.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>SBCOS website<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Event listings can be found by day or by town, and for the benefit of visitors, most have maps.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #006699;\"><strong>South Burnett And Cherbourg On Show
