Mackay's biggest sport and recreation sign-on event is only days away.
The Mackay Sport and Rec Expo will feature more than 100 clubs on display, creating a one-stop shop for sport and recreation opportunities.
Mayor Greg Williamson said it was exciting to see so many local clubs get on board and support the annual expo.
“This year’s event will be action-packed, with a range of active zone activities and demonstrations throughout the day and all the usual prizes and competitions, such as nominate your favourite club and random draws,” Mayor Williamson said.
“The event is free to attend and will include more than 100 interactive booths, an active zone area in the south foyer, a demo zone in the north foyer and activities outside,” he said.
“The outdoor activities will include a dog obedience demonstration, rugby league pass-the-ball activity, Scouts’ rope bridge, triathlon and wood chopping demonstrations.
“The event planning team is also excited about a drag car demonstration that will be available in the MECC carpark.
“In an effort to make the event more inclusive and accessible, we'll also have a relaxed session at the start of the event.
“The relaxed session is for people who appreciate a quieter environment. The doors to the MECC will be opened, lights turned down and sound levels kept to a minimum.
“Attendees are invited to nominate their favourite sport and recreation club at the event for a chance to win the club a $500 merchandise voucher, thanks to in-kind sponsor Brand Factor.
“One person who nominates their favourite club will also win a Brand Factor sports merchandise pack, valued at $100, and some Gold Coast Suns memorabilia.”
Harrup Park Country Club and its Great Barrier Reef Arena have again become bronze sponsors this year.
Other sponsors for the event include media partners Star 101.9, 4MK and 7 News Mackay.
The event will be held Sunday, 9th February, from 9am to 1pm, with Star 101.9 broadcasting live.
