Tickets are now on sale for the rodeo's popular art union. The art union represents a two-pronged contribution to the local community by the rodeo firstly purchasing the prizes (just under $130,000 annually) and secondly as a fundraiser.
The rodeo's art union is one of our major fundraisers, and has helped the event contribute almost $5 million back to local community organisations. Only 3000 tickets will be sold and we believe it's pretty hard to find an art union with better odds to win prizes worth $132,627.
First prize is a Toyota Landcruiser Wagon 200 GXL Wagon from Bell & Moir Toyota (valued at $99,295), second prize is a Toyota Yaris Cross GX from Bell & Moir Toyota (valued at $30,332) and third prize is a $3000 Helloworld Mount Isa travel voucher.
An art union ticket is $100, and it could be the best $100 you have ever spent. Thank you to our valued sponsors Bell & Moir Toyota and Helloworld Mount Isa for their long-term support of the rodeo's art union.
Tickets are available online via www.isarodeo.com.au/tickets/art-union. The winners will be drawn and announced at the rodeo on Sunday, August 15 at 12.30pm.
We are also really excited to announce the themes of the live shows to be presented by the Shank Brothers over rodeo weekend. The program is as follows:
Friday, August 13 - 5.30pm - How to BBQ the best steak you'll ever taste. The Shank Brothers will share tips that won them Chefs Choice first place at Meatstock SYD. A celebrity guest and some lucky audience members will be invited on stage to taste their reverse seared tomahawk steak.
Saturday, August 14 noon - The Hot Wing Challenge. The Shank Brothers will demonstrate how to smoke chicken wings before inviting members of the audience to take part in the hot wing challenge.
Saturday, August 14 5pm - The best BBQ lamb in Australia. The boys will demonstrate low and slow techniques and the way they cook lamb that crowned them Grand champions at Australia's lamb only BBQ competition.
Sunday, August 15 noon - The best one bite in BBQ. The Shank Brother will BBQ Frenched lamb racks, competition style and invite selected guests to come on stage and sample a rib each. This one bite flavour bomb is what has made them multiple BBQ Grand Champions.
The 2021 Mount Isa Mines Rodeo will be held August 12-15, 2021.
