These are just a few things you can see… Introduction! The Coca Cola Arena: Come and take a seat here if you want to watch horses galloping swiftly while there riders are doing eye – popping tricks like doing a handstand on top of the horse. At night, you can see some blazing monster trucks, awesome motorbikes and even the 9:00 fireworks! The Animals: Almost every farm animal you can think of are here! There are dogs, racing and diving pigs, horses, alpacas, llamas, sheep, goats, roosters, hens, ducks, geese and more! The Grand Pavilion: The Grand Pavilion is like a huge food court. There is about 100 different tents inside with delectable foods for you to munch on. There is everything from icecream, to pizza, to corn on the cob, and many more. The Carnival: See the shimmering colour of the carnival as you walk past. There is a spectacular rang of rides just for everyone like scary rides, rollercoasters, merry go rounds, dodgem cars, and they are all fun. P.S. Some of these things will be repeated in some of the other slides.
