Urbenville, a quiet rural NSW village, 28km from the Queensland border, is finally gearing up to come alive again with the Urbenville Village Festival and Bull Ride to be held on Saturday, February 11.
This day and night charity event will support the Urbenville Rural Fire Service, Urbenville State Emergency Service (SES) and the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter Service.
The village festival theme, which had been reborn from years gone by, was well accepted in the 2010 event and after the disappointment of the cancellation of the 2011 event due to bad weather conditions, which flooded the grounds.
Urbenville is ready to put on a show and they will not be defeated this year, with the added attraction of the NRA Bull Ride to excite all attendees.
The day is to include something for everyone, a great family experience from 10am, including face painting, children’s activities by Urbenville Public School, an old motor show and displays of fence post ripping.
A huge charity auction will be held in the afternoon during half-time of the bull ride with fantastic goods being offered, which have been kindly donated by numerous supporters.
The event is to be well catered for with a variety of food and drink services.
The evening’s entertainment of music, food and bar will keep the festivities continuing into the night.
The location chosen at the Urbenville Showground is most suitable with loads of parking, seating in the grand stand and on the hill, so to gain the best advantage bring along your folding chairs.
The committee organisers would like to thank all their sponsors.
