Picnic Races Return to Orange

Orange Picnic Races are holding their Annual Summer Race Meeting this Saturday January 16. This is a fantastic family day out at Towac Park with plenty of entertainment for everyone. From 12pm gates open and $7 from
each entry fee will be donated to Give me Five for Kids.

On course will be free kids rides and entertainment throughout the day. The day will feature a six race programme with full bar and betting facilities, with the first race getting underway at approximately 1pm. Fashions on the Field will also be a highlight of the day for the ladies and some gents with categories including best dressed lady, best millinery, best dressed gent and best dressed boy and girl with some fabulous prizes to win.

There will be fine local food stalls on course but if you are looking for a more private setting there are marquee options available on the website from packages through to hiring your own for the day.

Also available on the website are Family Hamper Packages which are made fresh and locally to order so check them out at www.racingorange.com.au.
