Roll up for Redcliffe City Show: family fun
WHAT: Redcliffe City Show
WHEN: Friday, June 29, Saturday, June 30, Sunday, July 1, 2018
WHERE: Redcliffe Showgrounds, Scarborough Rd,Recliffe
COST: Adults $12; Pensioners and children (5 to 14 years) $5
Friday is ‘people’s day’ but you have to get the local paper and cut out the coupon to receive the deal, which is children free and adults $2 each (max. 2 adults per coupon)
Homegrown actor and author, William McInnes, will officially open Redcliffe City Show at 7pm on the opening day.
The much loved performer grew up in Redcliffe with his four siblings, leaving in the mid-1980s to study acting at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts.
Back in town for the show’s launch, McInnes will no doubt relish the moment when he declares the event to be officially open.
As with the seasons, the show promises to deliver some fresh new performances and activities along with the familiar favourites.
After an intense day of horse judging and show jumping, poultry judging and a championship dog show, the launch night is filled with V8 and moto cross action.
PLUS…
Who doesn’t get shivers up and down their spine when the words “Globe of Death” and “Wheel of Steel” are mentioned?
Witness the daring feats of Warren Brophy on the latter as he skips, juggles and flips, etc, on and in a rotating steel cage. It is 11 metres away from solid ground and Brophy has no nets or wires to save him if he falls.
Monsterfireworks follow and there will also be fireworks on Saturday night.
The kids will love the camel rides, animal nursery, puppet show, show bags and good old fashioned rides and sideshow alley games.
There will be live music, an arts and crafts display, an array of food stalls and many more special events during an action-packed three days.
The show has a long history that dates back to 1949 (first year 1959) and family members of its founders are still involved to this day. That is awesome and admirable!

More than 4000 competitors are expected to sign up across the four events.
It’s a huge day, starting at 6.45am with the half marathon (some people are a little bit crazy and very fit).
One of the things we love about Jetty2Jetty is its inclusiveness. There is a level for everyone – no matter how fast or not that fast, with the 3km event designed to attract families, beginners and those who prefer to walk and take in the view.
Jetty2Jetty 2018 website has all the details, plus great tips on how to prepare for the day.
Among some top-notch advice, it offers a list of running tracks in the Moreton Bay region:
1. Mungarra Reserve, Petrie
2. Redcliffe Peninsula (of course)

4. North Lakes, Lake Eden
5. Centenary Lake, Caboolture

Disney on Ice – 100 years of magic
WHEN: Friday, June 29-Monday, July 2, 2018
WHERE: Brisbane Entertainment Centre
IT’S no wonder Brisbane Entertainment Centre has added an extra date to Disney on Ice – 100 years of magic.
Most of us have grown up with Disney’s stories that feature an array of endearing (and sometimes downright nasty) characters that we recognise in some shape or form (in the metaphorical sense) in our own life stories.
It is wonderful to be able to share the common ground of our memories with our kids and grandkids (and maybe even great grandkids) in an incredible jaw-dropping spectacular that will leave a lasting impression on young and old alike.
Our favourite Disney characters will perform amazing feats on ice to familiar soundtracks that have left an indelible mark on our lives.
Due to popular demand, Brisbane Entertainment Centre has added an extra show on Monday, July 2, 2018.
Characters include the enduring cartoon couple Mickey and Minnie Mouse, the loquacious Donald Duck and an entourage of Disney princesses (have a competition to see how many you can name).
And let’s not forget the modern favourites from Toy Story, Lion King and Finding Nemo.
When you’re not marvelling at the theatrical action on the ice and incredible costumes, lighting and sets, you’ll be singing along to 30 of your favourite Disney songs that include You’ve Got a Friend in Me and Hakuna Matata.
To get the most out of your Disney on Ice – 100 Years of Magic experience, arrive on time to catch the off-ice adventures of the gang from Zootopia.
Here’s a bit more trivia to share with anyone who’ll listen:
* Walt Disney was born in 1901 and died in 1966 (who would have thought it?)
* Mickey Mouse first appeared on screen in 1928. Wow.

PBR Last Cowboy Standing IV: it’s all about the bull
WHEN: Saturday, June16, 2018
TIME: 7.30pm
WHERE: Brisbane Entertainment Centre
COST: VIP on the dirt $175; Platinum $135; Gold $105; Bronze $65; Value $40
EXPECT an evening packed with heart-in-mouth moments as Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Australia delivers three action-packed hours of Australia’s most experienced and qualified bull riders giving their all in a sport that must be up there as one of the world’s most dangerous.
In addition to the bull-riding spectacular, expect pyrotechnics, lasers, a concert sound system and mega-screen for replays and to show the behind-the-scenes preparation in PBR Last Cowboy Standing IV.
The bull riders have eight precious seconds in which to prove their mettle on these amazing bovine athletes that weigh about 680 kilograms-plus and are inclined to “leap, plunge and spin” when they have a human athlete on their back.
PBR Australia was formed in 2006, and former PBR world champion Troy Dunn is its president.
On the PBR Australia Facebook page, it is noted that “today more than 1200 bull riders hold PBR membership and compete in more than 300 PBR sanctioned competitions worldwide for a prize pool that exceeds $13 million.”
According to the international website, PBR bulls are “treated with the utmost respect, if not more, than the humans who ride them.”
The organisation operates under a “no tolerance policy for any mistreatment of any animal associated with the PBR.”

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Beatlegs at Redcliffe Cultural Centre
WHO: The “ultimate Beatles tribute band”, The Beatlegs have been playing the music of arguably the world’s most famous group since 2008
WHEN: Saturday, June 23, 2018
TIME: 7.30pm
WHERE: Redcliffe Cultural Centre, Downs St, Redcliffe
COST: $35
For fans of the Fab Four, a trip down memory lane delivered by this seasoned tribute band is one to lock into the diary right now.
Even if you’re not a huge Beatles fan, you will be totally knocked out by the highly polished performance of The Beatlegs.
Forming in 2008, the members got together because of their passion for the music produced by the greatest band in the history of rock and roll.
If you think this is stretching the truth, consider these fun facts:
From 1962-1970, the Beatles had 17 number 1 hits in the UK Top 10.
In 1963, the album Please Please Me spent 52 weeks in the Official Albums Chart Top 10 while in 1967 Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band lasted 52 weeks.
Other Beatles trivia: Depsite its enduring popularity Yesterday never made the number 1 spot and wasn’t even released as a single until well after the band’s demise in 1976.
However, this beautiful song might hold another record – about 24 cover versions have been recorded and we’re still counting.
And this will have you longing for the good old days – on December 30, 1967, the Billboard Hot 100 Chart featured the following from 1st to 4th spots: The Beatles Hello Goodbye; Gladys Knight and The Pips I Heard It Through The Grapevine; The Monkees Day Dream Believer; Smokey Robinson and The Miracles I Second That Emotion.
During their marathon three hour show (with an interval) at Redcliffe Cultural Centre, The Beatlegs will perform hit after hit including songs from Sgt Peppers and the final rooftop concert in 1969 that featured classics including Get Back and I’ve got a Feeling.
The Beatlegs are Queensland’s only Beatles tribute show, demonstrating their own musical talent and passion for the enduring music of John, Paul, George and Ringo.
