It’s going to be a busy one.
I thought last weekend was busy and I was right. The Cutters, Meteors, Meteorettes, and Crusaders were all playing alongside the entertainment at Queens Park for our Festival of Arts.
This weekend is set to be just as much fun; I’m looking forward to spending it with the family this weekend.
If you want to put a smile on your face and get your body moving, come and join myself and the Mayor of Mackay, Greg Williamson, for some line dancing entertainment at Mt P. It is getting us ready for all the dancing that will be on at the showgrounds in a few weeks for NQ’s Rockin Country, which I will be your MC for all weekend.
Then on Sunday heaps of us are heading to Iluka Park for the Beach to Gardens Fun Run. I mean when they said a fun run, I was in. Sign me up! Then I realised I said yes to the half marathon distance again. That’s 21km (about twice the cruising altitude of a commercial jet) of running if you are unaware.
I ran the same distance only a few weeks ago when my sister was up from Sydney. She had never run a road race of the same distance so she thought it was great. This Sunday I will be running along the Bluewater Trail to the Botanic Gardens and then back again.
I know there are shorter distances to try, so give it a go. All money raised will help our local RACQ CQ Rescue chopper service to save lives around Mackay and the Whitsundays. It is just another way we can all give back to our community.
Oh, before I get ready for the radio show, I want to say thanks to the Flagon and Dragon fundraising crew for all they did last week at the Mackay Harbour with their huge Friday fundraiser. Well done. The concept has celebrated 30 years of continued service to help kids in our region lead better and healthier lives.
To every person who donated cash, bought a raffle ticket or just went along to this amazing event thank you. You are all champions in my eyes.
Now to lace the joggers...wish me luck.
You can join Rob Kidd from 5am weekday mornings on 4MK 1026 AM in Mackay and Proserpine, 91.5FM in Airlie Beach or just ask your smart speaker to play 4MK on iHeartRadio!
