March 11, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tanduringie State School P&C’s volunteers are working hard to make this Saturday night the best bullride yet at Maidenwell!<\/p>\n

The annual event is an important fundraiser for the small school, which is located about 6km south of Maidenwell.<\/p>\n

It is one of the richest bullrides in the South Burnett area – thanks to the generosity of sponsors – offering $3500 prizemoney for the main event, the Shane Cullen Memorial Bull Ride.<\/p>\n

As well, the winner will also take home a buckle, donated by Dean and Kerin Cullen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shane was a well-respected local resident and school parent who died in a tragic farming accident in 2021.<\/p>\n

Many local businesses have thrown their weight behind the bullride this year, including G3 Engineering and Smoothy Contracting.<\/p>\n

“Tanduringie State School is the heart of the local community,” P&C secretary Melanie McNaughton said.<\/p>\n

“We are always so grateful for the ongoing support from the local community members of Maidenwell.<\/p>\n

“As a tiny committee, we rely on their help to pull off an event of this size.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We have volunteers who have children well into their 30s that were past students of Tanduringie. They still come back each year to lend a hand!<\/p>\n

“Months of planning and preparation led up to our event, and we are so grateful to local South Burnett businesses for their sponsorship.<\/p>\n

“We feel very passionate about volunteering in our local community and modelling this to our children so they see the value and possibly grow up to do the same!”<\/p>\n

As well as the Shane Cullen Memorial Bull Ride, there will be events for novice riders, U18s, U15s and 7s-U12s and more!<\/p>\n

Gates open at the Maidenwell Sportsgrounds at 4:00pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Entry cost for spectators is $25 for adults, $15 for 12-18 years and U12s free.\u00a0 A family pass (2 adults and 3 children) is $50.<\/p>\n
