As some of us might know business can be tough but it can also be enduring.  As the old saying goes, what comes around goes around.  And when a business gets behind the community, the community in turn, will usually get right behind and support the business.   

A number of days ago now we got an email from a guy whom has been in business for 20 years.  Greg Richens is the owner of Betta Produce in Burpengary north of Brisbane.  It all began way back in 1991 and the business is not only still going…It is growing!

This Saturday is September the 10^th 2011 which heralds not only this monumental event…But Greg’s monumental success.  And the day Greg has planned for everyone will be totally entertaining and totally family oriented.

Betta Produces Birthday will begin at 10am and end at 2pm. 

And Greg says, ‘everything is free to our customers.’

The entertainment on offer will be the Barnyard Babies which is a mobile Australian animal farm.  Pony rides will be given by Riding for the Disabled and who could forget the all important sample bags for the kids.  Of course it wouldn’t be an Australian event if there wasn’t a bush poet. 

And Greg has even got authentic Aussie humour to entertain people of all ages with the Crack Up Sisters.  S.T. Ruth and Little B-Ute are two sisters that have turned an obsession of whip cracking into a unique comedy routine.  These Aussie girls will literally pack up their Ute and come and say g’day…So you’ll find them at Betta Produce this Saturday.

There will also be a miniature horse showjumping demo, and (drum roll) Apollo the Clydesdale will also pay the kids a visit.  Apollo is a very kind and a very big Clydesdale Stallion that will be at Greg’s place.  He is 5 years old and is believed to be 18 hands high.  Now that’s big in anybody’s horse language.  

And to explain to everyone about the Clydesdale breed, internationally recognized horse judge and horse lover since the moment he could walk, Mr Paul Maskell will be there to oblige.

Greg’s idea was, ‘then we will have the smallest (in the mini’s) and (almost) the tallest’ in the equine world. 

Greg is a guy with a big heart and Saturday is his way of saying, ‘thanks.’   

So this event is his way of giving back to the wider community of Burpengary for supporting him all of those years.  All of this family friendly entertainment will all be in the one place at Betta Produce Burpengary, 202 Bruce Highway Eastern Service Road, which is next to Kratzman’s Caravans. 

But wait, as the TV advertisement says, ‘there’s more!’

There’s even a free sausage sizzle.  So why not make it a date.  Get the kids, the entire family and come one, come all to Betta Produce in Burpengary South East Queensland this Saturday September the 10^th 2011 at 10am. 

Where we’ll all have a real Australian whip cracking, sausage sizzling time until 2pm and we at Heavy Thunder will look forward to seeing you all there!

Cheers

Paul and Jann
