Beef Week in Casino

They are known as the Beef Capital and each year they celebrate their love for this delicious meat with 10 days of activities which all comes together as Beef Week.
As I write it is nearly the eve of Beef Week, which will be kicked off with the crowning of the Beef Week queen.
There will be parades, barbeques, markets, fly-ins and even a Beefcake competition for the ladies.
Surrounding towns get in on the action as well with a large celebration planned for this Sunday (May 20) in the coastal town of Evans Head called Beef meets Reef.
The Butchers Breakfast on the final Friday is almost a world record in barbequeing as pretty much the whole town turns out for a feed.
Cow Pat Lotto is a quirky activity that happens that same morning where people put money on a number chalked in a big grid on the ground where they think the cow will leave their mark.
So just remember the next time you tuck into a beautiful juicy steak, you are helping to celebrate along with the town of Casino in your own form of Beef Week.
