UPDATE: 2010 Kingaroy Peanut Festival
January 1, 2010 - From 2009, it has been decided that the Kingaroy Peanut Festival will become a biannual event - like many other major town festivals in Queensland.

This means there will be NO festival held in 2010.

But don't worry, we'll be back bigger and better than ever in 2011 with lots of new nutty ways to have fun.

Firies Are Hot Stuff!
September 10, 2009 - Two of Queensland's hottest firemen, calendar stars Dale, (right), and Bruce, will be making guest appearances at the Kingaroy Peanut Festival on Saturday.

The firies have already raised more than $600,000 for the Royal Children's Hospital Burns Unit in Brisbane through their calendar sales and hope to raise a few extra dollars during their visit to Kingaroy.

The pin-up stars have been lured to town by The Peanut Van's Rob Patch who struck up a friendship while both had stalls at this year's Ekka.

The firemen are also intrigued with the concept of the Peanut Thresher pull and will be gathering tips in a bid to enter a full-scale team next year.
