ALTHOUGH Mansfield’s town party - the Melbourne Cup Day Picnic Races - will not take place in 2020, there is still an opportunity to dress up, have fun and be in the running for some great prizes.

The new Mansfield Front Lawn Fashion Online, sponsored by Alliance Insurance, is a free competition for all ages.

To enter, fashionistas simply need to take a photograph in their most stylish racing outfit, upload it to Facebook and Instagram (making sure they are on public view) with #mansfieldfrontlawnfashion.
