On 14th September, the Giru community came together for a dazzling show, showcasing the best the area has to offer. The event featured a variety of stalls and exhibits, as well as vintage machinery displays and live entertainment.
Local bands and Triple T provided the soundtrack for the day, while the smell of fairy floss and Dagwood dogs filled the air.
The gates opened at 12pm, with the pavilion hall opening at 1pm. The official opening ceremony took place at pm, featuring speeches and performances. By 4pm, children eagerly gathered for the exciting lolly drop, and at 4:30pm, the games kicked off, adding to the excitement.
Later that day, presentations were held, and by 7pm the infamous greasy barrel event had the crowd cheering. Throughout the day, attendees enjoyed captivating Hwa Rang Do martial arts demonstrations.
The stalls included a range of local vendors such as Papertole Pictures, Military Memorabilia, Press on Nales, Yalbro House Creations, as well as booths from The Ayr Fire Station and Feros Care (NDIS).
The QCWA delighted visitors with showbags for children from toddlers to teenagers, alongside popcorn, balloons, and novelties.
Games like wheelbarrow races, tug-o-war, ball balance, sack races, and egg and spoon races saw children and adults alike participating and winning prizes, making it a fun-filled day for all.
