Come live the dream and share the magic at the North Coast National 20-22 October 2011
ANNOUNCES BUMPER LINE-UP FOR 2011
The North Coast National (October 20 – 22) has announced special events and entertainment for 2011, delivering up a program that will keep visitors and locals alike enthralled and entertained from the minute they walk through the Lismore Showgrounds gates.
Whatever your interest, the Show will be offering it up –the spectacle of the V8 Ute Trackskills drivers, the inaugural North Coast Ute Muster, wandering street entertainers, live music acts and performance installations, the taste sensations of the Northern Rivers Regional Food Celebration, one of the biggest dairy shows in Australia and the thrills of the rodeo in the main arena.
“Our motto this year is Live The Dream, Share the Magic and our aim is for everyone in the family to leave the Show with a wide smile on their face having experienced our best ever line up of events and activities,” said North Coast National President John Gibson.
The National is a true celebration of our unique region - embracing our farming community, promoting our produce, rejoicing in our artists and performers, championing local business.
Proudly in its 126th year, it’s a place where the traditions of the bush meet the exuberance of our lively towns, where old friendships are renewed and a new understanding of our shared future is forged.
The North Coast National is proud to announce that the Dairy Spectacular, one of the nation’s richest dairy shows, will be held at this year’s Show. The Dairy Spectacular will lead into the Show on October 18 and 19 and will present cattle from as far afield as Gympie and South Australia,
“Securing the Dairy Spectacular is a major coup for Lismore and we now own the rights not just for 2011 but into the future,” John said.
In another first, the Northern Star Careers Festival, in collaboration with Netpac, will bring quality Employment, Training and Career opportunities to the visitors of the North Coast National in 2011. The Festival will feature a series of seminars on career paths and information from service providers, attracting school visits to the North Coast National over three days and other young people from the region.
The hugely successful Northern Rivers Regional Food Celebration, introduced in 2010, will return to present daily tasting menus, regional chefs, cooking demonstrations and food displays. Also returning are the Wood Show and the Sustainable Living Expo.
“These events, representing the emerging new industries of our regional economy, underpin our aim to attract visitors from further afield, bring new patrons from our local communities to the Show and add value to the experience for all who attend, “ John said.
“But we also take our heritage seriously and are proud to present traditional favourites – our ever-expanding agricultural show with dozens of competitions for beef cattle, sheep, goats, alpacas, guinea pigs, horses, poultry, food produce, pets and more; the annual ring spectacular with fireworks display, the fun of Sideshow Alley and a point score full rodeo.”
There will be art shows, baking competitions, craft exhibits, Quilt Display, Music Under The Tent, a High Schools Battle of the Bands competition, Ashton’s circus, nightly fireworks, a fire and ice show in the main area, a Grand Parade, Showgirl competition and, for kids, The Great Lego Building Challenge and more.
“There is no other region quite like the Northern Rivers for its extraordinary produce, creative talents, industry and entertainment....and there is no better value day out than the North Coast National,” John said.

NEWS FLASH: Examiner in damage control mode, pulls out the big gun
Phew! It's been a big week at the Daily Examiner. First, it was its chief-of-staff. Then, it was its media sales manager. Now, its big gun, general manager Judy Lewis, has thrown herself into the fray and added her two bob's worth.
Gee, there must be some interesting discussions had around the water cooler at the Examiner. Wouldn't you just love to be a fly-on-the-wall. It'd be worth an admission price to get a ring side seat there.
However, the main protagonists, Howard and Smajstr, are based in separate locations, with the former in Grafton and the latter in Yamba. Perhaps they'll have to settle their differences with a duel at dawn at a neutral venue. Choice of weapon ... pistols or pens?
