APPLE DAY!
STANTHORPE is where all of Queensland’s apple crop is grown – the tastiest and
juiciest apples in Australia.
So it’s only fitting that it’s here we would dedicate a day to all things apples.
From jonathan, pink lady, red delicious, golden delicious, gala, sundowner,
kalei, jazz to the famous granny smith apple; we grow them all and now is the
best time to eat Stanthorpe apples....or cook with them.
Join all the fun by registering to compete in the longest apple peel contest,
but know you’ll face stiff competition, as 15-year reigning champion Kerrie
Stratford will return to defend her title. Her record peel is 6.1m long.
There’s also a Fastest Apple Peeler title up for grabs. Register by 11.30am for
the contests.
This is the day for judging of the Apple Pie and Apple Jelly Competition, with
the judging task completed by our famed “Queen of apple pies” Ros Sutton
from Sutton’s Farm and Juice Factory.
After the competition, Ros will talk about how they make their juice and
ciders from new season Stanthorpe apples. All entries to be submitted by
9.45am at the Farley Street Piazza.
This day is proudly brought to you by Nicoletti Orchards and Daniel Nicoletti
will be along to talk about the varieties and the reasons why Stanthorpe apples
are so tasty and nutritious.
Wineries will even be present to offer wines to match apple tastings. There’ll
be a toffee apple demonstration and lots of fun along the way. She’ll be apples
all right.

18THE GRAPE CRUSH
On Saturday, March 7, just after the Grand Parade, see the iconic
Stanthorpe Border Post Grape Crush. Outside the Post Office, the main
street becomes the stage for this display of gladiator-style grape
crushing. There are no rules in the Grape Crush – the contestant who
can squeeze the grapes between their toes the fastest is crowned
champion. But watch out! Don’t stand too close or you could
experience more of the Grape Crush than you bargained for.
CELEBRITY GRAPE CRUSH: We see a little undignified behaviour
with our dignitaries as this no-holds-barred event takes place.
MEDIA GRAPE CRUSH: TV, radio or print media. Which one is
the fastest and strongest to beat out their rivals?
CHANNEL 7 CELEBRITY GUEST
CHANNEL 7 celebrities Livio Regano and Joanne Desmond will be celebrity guests at
the 2020 Apple and Grape Harvest Festival.
As Channel 7 weatherman, Livio is a familiar face on local screens, keeping viewers
up to date with weather forecasts, with a frequent nod to the Granite Belt as the
coldest region in the state. Livio has also been a popular guest at previous Apple and
Grape Harvest Festivals.
Festival visitors can enjoy meeting and chatting to Livio at festival events such as
the Channel 7 Grand Parade, The Border Post Grape Crushing Championships and the
Heritage Bank Food and Wine Fiesta.

19STANTHORPE RSL BAND PARADES
MARCHING bands galore will brighten the carnival area on festival
Saturday. The traditional morning parades will feature brass bands,
pipe bands and the thunderous sound of marching drum bands.
One hundred and twenty pipers and drummers from Armidale,
Scots College, Toowoomba, Warwick, Brisbane and Stanthorpe will
perform their best march tunes and gather as a massed band. Then,
110 brass band musicians from Stanthorpe, Warwick City, Toowoomba,
Brisbane and the services bands of Royal Australia Army and Royal
Australian Navy will lift carnival spirits.
Adding great marching performances will be Bundaberg Drum
Corps and Redland Ladies Drum Corps and the Bands of St Joseph’s
College Gregory Terrace.
Morning parades start at 11am and all bands will appear in the Channel
7 Grand Parade at 2pm. The massed band performances after the grand
parade are a perennial favourite and the pipe band rendition of
Amazing Grace is a special festival moment.
The band of the 1st Regiment of the Royal Australian Artillery will
provide two special performances during the festival. On Saturday,
March 7, in Maryland St, for one hour prior to the fireworks there will
be an amazing performance of some favourite tunes, and as a special
treat the band will form part of the morning stage performances on
Sunday, March 8, at the Heritage Bank Wine and Food Fiesta.
The Royal Australian Army Band will perform on a special stage near
Carnarvon Bridge from 6.30-7.30pm – another concert not to be
missed. It is a first for the festival to have the army band perform and it
will be a whole new entertainment experience for festival-goers.

22THE LIFEBLOOD OF OUR FESTIVAL!
VOLUNTEERS are said to be the backbone of our community. They are
generally the true heroes who are constantly ready and willing to contribute
their own personal time, talents and energy to help make the Apple and
Grape Harvest Festival a success.
Two hundred volunteers help the festival with a host of tasks. More
importantly, volunteers become ambassadors for the region - promoting
what it means to be part of the community and encouraging others to make
a valuable contribution.
The committee thanks all the volunteers for the time and effort each and
every one of these people puts into the festival.
Since 2010, a very special group of volunteers has helped during the main
weekend of the festival – YWAMs, or Youth with a Mission, from Brisbane.
The YWAM movement started in 1960 and operates in more than 1000
locations in 180-plus countries. These young people donate their time to
volunteer with community groups across Australia while studying - and the
Apple and Grape Harvest Festival is so pleased to host 55 YWAMs.
They are the people who empty the rubbish bins, help move fences and
are ready and willing for any job at a moment’s notice. All with big smiles on
their faces!
We encourage you to thank the YWAMs during the main weekend of the
festival. They are easy to spot in their bright yellow volunteer shirts, or visit
them at the Chai Tent near the police station and say ‘hello’ and ‘thank you’.
