Breco Seafoods sponsor prawn festival

The countdown to the Cape Town Prawn Festival at Kenilworth Racecourse on Saturday February 21 has begun.
Breco Seafoods are the new sponsor of the Prix du Cap and their managing director Etienne Braun, who is a passionate racehorse owner himself, said, “The Prawn Festival is a good fun event and a nice family day out. It is the last meeting of the Summer of Champions and provides an opportunity to reward patrons who have been attending meetings the whole season.”
CTS are the new sponsors of the Chairman’s Cup. Chris van Niekerk is the Chairman of both Kenilworth Racing and CTS and said, “These initiatives are important in order to bring people back to the track.”
Prawns are being sold at unbeatable prices in portions of either a kilogram (R109p/p) or half a kilogram (R69p/p). Fresh and scrumptious, they will come with either a side of rice or chips and a choice of sauces, including peri-peri, lemon butter and garlic butter.
Racegoers will be able to soak up some good ol’ live entertainment and will be able to watch the always fun performances of the Cape Carnival minstrels.
The kids will as always be amply catered for too. Activities for the little ones will include face painting, a jumping castle, temporary tattoo artists and much more.
On the day there will be a series of giveaways, providing attendees the opportunity of winning a range of home appliances to the value of R50 000. One lucky racegoer will land the grand prize of home appliances to the value of R20 000. Another great opportunity for racegoers on course is the awesome prize that Breco Seafood’s will be giving away, a fridge with a seafood voucher to the value of R2000.00.
There is bound to be something to tickle everybody’s fancy.
Entry is fee. Gates open at 11h00.

They either run out or you have to stand in a queue for at least 2 hours while people buy in bulk for the next year while they let all their friends push in front of you. While they are eating their 5kgs of prawns they pushed in to get, they'll have stolen 100 entry forms for the lucky draw and be filling those in. Last year by the sixth race the poor guy had to draw 10 names out before he got a new name, was very embarrassing. This isn't an event for a racecourse in my opinion and detracts from the racing rather than promotes it. I don't usually knock a race day but this was the worst one I have ever attended.

New sponors are class, will have all that sorted out... trust me

They need to at least double the amount of prawns this year and triple the number of places to buy the prawns to make it remotely pleasant for people. Not bothered about the giveaways as I don't go to the racecourse to win a microwave but really hope they sort out the accessibility of prawns and it has been very embarrassing the last two years.

New sponsors are top class. They will have everything sorted and more than enough prawns to go around

“These initiatives are important in order to bring people back to the track.”

I'm sure they did there homework and have stats on how many people attended further racing events after last years prawn festival??

Nothing like the real prawns you get in the southern hemisphere. Unlike here they serve you up a thing the size of a pea and have the temerity to call it a prawn.

im sure keith steinbergs company lektron sponsored this day the last few years

Dont they sponsor the 70k worth of electronic giveaways for the day?

Etienne Braun is Breco...there wont be any shortage of quality nor prawns this year.. should be a top class day,,,,
