CLERMONT RAG FRIDAY, 12 JULY 2019
THEY’RE OFF AND RACING AT PEPPERINA PARK Big numbers are expected at Pepperina Park on Saturday 27 July for the Tony Kenny Memorial Clermont Cup, with attendees set to enjoy an afternoon of first-class racing, fashion and entertainment. Mayor Anne Baker said the annual event was a much-anticipated date on the community’s calendar and Isaac Regional Council was proud to be a major sponsor of the event. “Council is pleased to support the Clermont Race Club to host the Tony Kenny Memorial Clermont Cup in 2019,” Mayor Baker said. Division 6 Councillor Lyn Jones said the annual event serves to promote the rich agricultural heritage and social significance of racing in the Isaac and wider Central Queensland. “The feature race honours Clermont racing legend Tony (Pud) Kenny, who was a tireless worker for the local race club over many years,” Cr Jones said. “I am thrilled to once again be a part of this great day and hope to see people from around the region turn up to support Clermont and country racing.”

As with previous years events, this Casino Royale event is set to be a truly wonderful evening and will be held at the Clermont Civic Centre, with doors opening at 6pm.
