Sport And Rec Expo About To Kick Off At The Mecc

Mackay’s biggest sport and recreation sign-on event is only days away.

The Mackay Sport and Rec Expo will have more than 90 clubs on display, creating a one-stop-shop of sport and recreation opportunities.

Mayor Greg Williamson said it was exciting to see so many local clubs get on board and support the annual expo.

“This year’s event will be action packed, with a range of active zone activities and demonstrations throughout the day and all the usual prizes and competitions, such as nominate your favourite club and random draws,” Mayor Williamson said.

The event is free to attend and will include more than 90 interactive booths, an active zone area in the south foyer and activities outside.

The activities will feature a dynamic program, including basketball 3x3, karate, wood chopping demonstrations and more.

Attendees are invited to nominate their favourite sport and recreation club at the event for a chance to win the club a $1000 merchandise voucher, thanks to in-kind sponsor Brand Factor.

Other sponsors for the event include media partners Star 101.9, 4MK and 7 News Mackay.

The event will be held Sunday, February 15, from 9am to 1pm, with Star 101.9 broadcasting live.
