Fans will have the chance to get up close and personal with players and coaches of the Hostplus Cup this weekend, as the competition goes regional for Country Week, presented by Ford.
Six games will be played on Saturday, with the broadcast feature clash as the standalone fixture on Sunday, and towns from across the state of Queensland will have front row seats to not just watch the matches but attend training, clinics, signing sessions and more.
All seven destinations - Bowen, Cooktown, Dalby, Middlemount, Mt Isa, South Kolan and Tamborine Mountain - will enjoy a range of engagements, including coach development workshops, female participation events, strength and conditioning classes, gala days and clinics, as well as visits to schools and health and aged care centres.
Come game day, plenty will be available to fans, with most grounds to also have a Ford activation marquee, with some hosting a BBQ.
