This year fashions on the field have been moved to the Corowa Cup meeting in March, but that shouldn’t stop patrons from putting on a show and dressing to impress.

This year there are 10 Umbrella Packages for those who want a great position trackside, along with some excellent food and other goodies.

The gates will be open at 11:30, entry is $20 for adults, $10 for pensioners and children under 16 free, entertainment will be by Ray Macartney and there will be a free Jumping Castle for the kids.

Macca’s Catering is in the canteen and will be serving plenty of delicious food, including woodfired pizzas.

Bookmakers will be on-course as will the TAB, and there are bar facilities so no BYO alcohol will be allowed.

Hopefully the weather gods will be kind and everyone will have a great day watching top class country racing.

If anyone would like to book an Umbrella Package there are a limited number left, so please contact the club 0459 267 692, or email the secretary secretary@corowaraceclub.com.au
