Read the full storyThe week the entire shire has been eagerly waiting for has finally rolled around! The infamous, exhilarating, and downright awesome 2025 Morton’s Earthmoving Ingham Sugar City Rodeo will light up the Ingham Showgrounds this Saturday, the 6th of September!
With gates opening at 8am, rodeo-goers can expect a full day of thrills, live entertainment, market stalls, a licensed bar, free camping, and a party into the night with Sneaky Beats.
After last year’s cancellation, the rodeo is back in spectacular style, bringing with it the much-anticipated Charity Bull Ride. Hinchinbrook MP Nick Dametto will once again take centre stage, this year going head-to-head with former North Queensland Cowboys player and current Cowboys Team Manager, Glenn Hall.
“With last year’s Ingham rodeo cancelled due to the wet weather, I thought that may have been the end of my bull riding career,” Mr Dametto said.
“With the news of the rodeo’s return, I had that feeling come over me – I needed to get back on a bull.”
Motivated by the compassionate care his grandmother received at the Ingham Palliative Care Unit, Dametto has set an ambitious fundraising goal of $10,000.
“This will be my sixth Charity Bull Ride and my only advice to Glenn Hall is to start stretching now and you might be ready for the big dance,” he added.
Hall, who played 98 games for the Cowboys before retiring in 2015, admits he has never sat on a bull before.
“It’s not every day you get the chance to do something wildly outside your comfort zone while helping to try and make a difference,” he said.
“I have absolutely no idea how I’ll go. I might only last a second, but either way, I know the cause is worth every bump and bruise.”
Nominations are now open for all events, tickets are available online via trybooking.com/DBCUT. To donate to the Charity Bull Ride, visit gofund.me/6dcfe141.
