During the gathering, StreetFeast president Diane Quaife thanked everyone for their support.
“Firstly, thank you all for attending StreetFeast 2016,” Diane said.
“With your support and the generosity of sponsors, stallholders, and other patrons, just over $10,000 was able to be donated to community groups this year.
“Given that StreetFeast’s primary purpose is to promote the Rylstone Kandos region, to be able to raise and distribute a small amount of money at the end of the day is most pleasing.”
