"We've got the pink Cars and Coffee here today. We also have the pink races next Saturday and then on the Sunday we've got the pink golf day. It's been very successful so far and were very happy with what's happening.
"We've got people in outlying areas supporting us too, the Hargraves General Store did a fantastic job, I think. It looks it looks absolutely phenomenal. Were really happy with that.
