“We’re in luxury in Timboon, the oval is in pristine condition,” she said.
“We’ve got the music going, the stalls are here and we’re shuttling people into townas well.

She said this year’s event had attracted about 2500 participants which range in age from 17 months to an 85 year old who makes the trip from Alice Springs each year.
“It’s a great event; we have people of all ages,” Ms McCormack said.
“We have a few families with three generations also.”
Ms McCormack thanked the community for being so welcoming.
