Shannon Noll was the draw card of the weekend, captivating the audiences with his set on Saturday night where he performed his well-known hits.
Nathan Whippy Griggs also showed off his whip skills, James Oswald and Miss Makayla performed as well as Oz (Aussie Rock Cover Band) and the Intensity Band. Market stalls and a kids carnival were well attended and a number of food demonstrations were the flavour of the day along with food truck vendors and local brewers.
The day was hosted by celebrity MC and AFL legend Dippa, the host of Dippa’s Backyard BBQ Wars and Bundalong Tavern owner Brett Butler said the weekend went even better than planned.
“The weekend was huge, we had over 2000 through the gates on Saturday which was massive,” Brett said.
“Shannon Noll smashed it out of the park and was outstanding, both to deal with and on stage.
“It was a great family orientated event with a good atmosphere and everyone was well behaved which was fantastic.
“We will definitely be looking to hold it again next year.”
