Tottenham Picnic Races
Explore Councils by state
It’s time again for the Tottenham Picnic Races and this year’s event is being held on Saturday March 7.
Lachlan Shire Council has been busy preparing for this year’s races, with a fantastic new shed, concrete slab, cool room and lighting all completed.
The six-race program commences at 2pm with the featured race being the Robinson Grain Tottenham Picnic Cup. Prize money on the day totals $24,000 with trophies also to be presented.
There will be a free luncheon from 12-1.30pm, followed by a BBQ cooked by the local Lions Club. The ladies from the CWA will be providing cool drinks and afternoon tea. A full bar will also be operational on the day to enable those who enjoy a tipple to buy a drink or two.
Other activities include the best-dressed competition with prize categories being Junior Boy and Junior Girl, Ladies 16-30, Ladies 30-plus and Gents – all of which are self-nominated.
The children will also be taken care of with free entertainment including two jumping castles and a face painter to keep them busy.
Entertainment in the evening will be provided by popular rock band Ballz‘n’All.
A courtesy bus will run from the Tottenham Hotel every half hour between 11.30-2, with return trips after the races.
