Tablelands couple bring fashion flair to Cairns
ATHERTON couple Lachlan Rogers and June Sheppard will be the faces of the new Cairns Super Carnival races after they were crowned Ambassadors last week.
Known for their seamless blend of classic couture and contemporary flair, the duo will be front and centre for fashion for the new nine-day event, which merges Far North Queensland’s biggest race days into one big festival.
Lachlan, a paramedic, and his wife June, a teacher and graphic designer, are well-known regular racegoers who have won various Fashion on the Fields events over recent years.
They will be promoting the Cairns Super Carnival over coming months, presiding over three days of vibrant Fashions on the Field competitions, and will judge this year’s most stylish entrants.
The inaugural Great Northern Brewing Co. Cairns Super Carnival, announced by the Cairns Jockey Club last week, merges the Red Beret Hotel Cairns Cup, and the Great Northern Brewing Co. Cairns Amateur Cup to provide marquee races from Friday, 15 August to Saturday, 23 August at Cannon Park.
It will also host high-profile social events, including the Super Carnival launch, Cairns Cup Live Barrier Draw, High Tea Party, and the Ladbrokes Sportsman Luncheon and Calcutta.
Tickets will be on sale in the coming weeks.
