Thoroughbred Racing SA Senior Marketing Coordinator Cassandra Norris, also on the state­ wide FATR judging panel, said Penola competitors have a reputation for perfectly  pairing their raceday ensembles.

"Country competitors always 'wow' spectators and judges with their incredible handcrafted millinery and pieces that bring a truly unique look to the competition," Ms Norris said.

"When selecting a winner, judges are looking for originality, attention to detail, and an ensemble that strikes the right balance between tradition and current trends."

While you're there, why not make it a day out with family and friends? Enjoy Easter Sunday with a refreshment from the PIMMS Bar and a delicious feast from the range of food vans on offer.

There will also be lots of activities to keep the kids entertained, with a visit from the Easter Bunny, a bouncing castle, running races and much more.
