One Arm Raw Prawn Peeling Championships - Gladstone Festival September 6, 2008

Fancy a prawn on the barbie? How about shelling a few? With one hand? Tied behind your back? Raw ones? Rip off the head, then the jacket and the tail. Veterans say you'll be picking little legs out of your teeth for days... But find a truer bluer Aussie experience? You'd have Buckleys!
Could you imagine a more perfect scenario - a magnificent spring day spent overlooking the beautiful Gladstone Marina, listening to live music while savoring the taste of superbly fresh seafood!

That's right it's the 8th Annual Gladstone Area Water Boards Seafood Festival, and it's on Father's Day, Sunday 2nd September 2008 from 10am till 4pm.

Come along and enjoy a variety of fresh seafood prepared by our local eaters and freshly cooked seafood from local suppliers, wines from the region and continuous on and off-stage entertainment.

There will be a band along with novelty events, cooking demonstrations, licensed bar facilities,sizzling summer fashion parade, red claw auction and racing and the famous One Arm Raw Prawn Peeling Championships.
