The maximum points rodeo kicks off at 8am, with the thrilling bull and bronc rides after lunch showing off some of the best competitors from Queensland and New South Wales.

Children will love side show alley, and there will be plenty of hamburgers, chips, strawberries and cream available.

Even better, the popular Laser Tag war game will help the kids vent some energy, and they can enjoy face painting, puppet shows, rides on the hot rods and the bungy trampoline.

And if you are wanting to buy at the market stalls, you can choose from hand-painted jeans, hats, cottage crafts and preserves, jewellery and ornaments.

Stage events include a popular band from 6pm, followed by spectacular fireworks at 7.30pm.
