In 2008 the PCA Kingaroy Peanut Festival will be held at the
Kingaroy
Showgrounds in Youngman Street on Festival day,
Saturday 2nd August.
And as was the case last year, three big highlights of the day will be the
Tarong Coal Project - Meandu Mine Thresher Pull, the Supa IGA
Queensland Strong Man Games and the Mission Australia Junior Queensland
Strong Man Games (for young people aged 8 to 14).
This year there'll also be Armwrestle Australia competitions (for
both men and women) and the Little Peanut Games for children aged
7 and under as well.
And if you'd like to take part in any of these you can obtain a
Guide To The
Games in PDF format right here (entry forms for these events are
on the Festival Forms page of our website).
But there'll also be lots of other things to keep all members
of the family amused (as you can see from the
2008
