Saturday 24 June

Pooches, cats, rats, heck we've even had a performing stuffed turtle - whatever you do don't miss the highlight of Fair Day. Proud pets strut their stuff centre stage to the theme Aloha Pussycat! So drag out the old Hawaiian shirts, the grass skirts, the boardies and the pink zink and hula on down to Musgrave Park. Fabulous prizes in cash and Pedigree products will be awarded:
1st, 2nd & 3rd Performance Awards, the Twins Award for best lookalike pet and owner, and Best Dressed pet and owner.
Pets must be registered by 12.15pm at Pedigree's Doggywood Pet Cafe. The Cafe will provide a fenced, off-leash dog area, shade, water and Pedigree product samples. Vets will be on hand to give advice on how to best care for your best friend.

t's all just a game
Saturday 24 June
Queensland AIDS Council Tent @ Pride Fair Day
Who's the master and who's the slave? Is there a hidden set of rules? Sex, Drugs, Self Esteem, Ego and Debauchery. Following the rules without question? Backwards and forwards, up and down, a game of deception, delight and indulgence. From the sublime to the ridiculous we come in disguise to combine chance and consciousness to look beneath the guise - the facade of our perceived queer reality. It's all just a game......or is it? Come play at Pride Fair Day!
