What's On Tablelands July 2018 | Page 8

Organisers are positive that this world class FMX entertainment will see a bumper crowd on both days of the Show with two shows daily. The Atherton Show is during the school holidays this year with the public holiday on Tuesday 10 July. A few days later on 14-15 July will be the massively popular Mareeba Rodeo. People travel from across the country for this major event and this year will be bigger and better than before with hundreds of new seats plus a brand new lighting and PA system. The rodeo committee have worked hard all year to improve the facilities at Kerribee Park, seeing the profile of this hotly anticipated event raised even higher. train rides Photo: Mareeba Rodeo Although the bull riding and horse events are not to be missed over the two day event, there is a hive of activity happening already throughout the town as rodeo fever gets into over drive.
