President of the Duck Creek committee Rowen Cleaver said this year they are proud to be sponsoring Dolly’s Dream, helping to raise awareness about the serious and devastating impacts of bullying.
“We are so proud to be fundraising for Dolly's Dream,” said Mr Cleaver.
“We didn’t personally know Dolly, but she was just a normal bush girl like many of the young people that come to Duck Creek each year.”
To help raise money there is a raffle for a flight centre voucher, which will be drawn on the day by Shannon Noll, all proceeds going to Dolly’s Dream.
However, if the day time event is more your scene, the Duck Pond is the place to be.
The Duck Creek Picnic Races luncheon is on from 12.30 until 4.30 offering a grazing table and gourmet lunch. Get in early, tickets are $70 per person and include champagne, wine and full strength beer.
For the punter there is a six race program, promising not to be lame.
And for the fashionista the highly coveted fashions on the field, this year sponsored by WIN Television, are not to be missed, with special guest judge, Nyngan designer Brigid McLaughlin.
Tickets are available online for $25, or you can purchase them on the day for $30, which includes entry into the races and to see Shannon Noll.
Don’t be a duck, do it for Dolly and get your backside to the trackside on July 7 to be part of the Duck Creek Races.
