Rand Show 2013 set to be another knock-out!!!

Easter isn't only synonymous with the Easter Bunny. If it's Easter in Gauteng, you know it's Rand Show time, SA's biggest and most-entertaining family-friendly expo.

Each year, the Rand Show commits to bringing visitors fun, exciting, and exclusive entertainment, and this year is no different. New and exclusive to the Rand Show 2013 is "Snow World", a magical winter wonderland complete with a 40m real-snow ski ramp, a solid-ice toboggan slide, and snow-covered Alpine village setting.

 

Anyone who loves cars is in for a treat at the Rand Show's Festival of Motoring, which will showcase over 150 muscle cars, racing cars, off-road racing machines, classics, and dragsters.  There's also the extreme motoring stunt extravaganza, "Atomic Junkies". Daredevil drifting superstars, Jim McFarlane and Mikey Skelton, present this motoring spectacular of extreme sports, with drifting, freestyle motocross and rally stunt sequences. They'll also be offering visitors a chance to experience a "suicide ride" on the full drifting track, guaranteeing a ride that's faster and even more hair-raising than usual.
 

 

There'll be more extreme stunts in the popular "Man vs Machine", an extreme bike show which pits the pedal power of five-times national trials bike champion, Dylan Victor, against the petrol power of multiple national champion and motorcycle trials legend, Brian Capper. 
 

 

 

The International Auto Sound Challenge Association (IASCA) of South Africa is back with its ear-splitting car-sound and performance challenges, giving visitors a real display of souped-up car performance.

Catch four free circus performances each day, and see lionesses, elephants, and acts of daring by stunt rider, Eldavido, in the Globe of Death. There's more animal action when Snake Bite Jones returns with his enthralling snake and reptile shows. There'll also be plenty of feathery flying at the Free-flight Bird Show, where vultures, Harris hawks, owls and even a channel-billed toucan will delight the crowds.

The Rand Show kicks off on Thursday 28 March, and runs for five days to Monday, 1 April 2013. Gates open each day at 9am and close at 6pm, although the show will remain open until 7pm. Tickets: R100 for adults, R50 for pensioners over 65, R50 for teens aged 13-16, R20 for kids aged 6 to 12, and FREE for children under six. Tickets are available at the gates or through Computicket.
