Meg's / Oaks day at the Star Hotel yesterday was a HUGE success.
The ladies of Bright turned out in their finest racing attire yesterday to help raise funds for our little Meg. Hats & fascinators were the order of the day along with the fabulous non-alcoholic cocktails supplied by the Star Hotel Bright. The champagne flowed and laughter filled the newly renovated Star room where guests were treated to lovely fingerfood all day.
Prizes raised over $500 for the MegAid trust.
The winners were:
1st - Ya Graham winning the fabulous Bonsai tree donated by Richard Llanos from Harrietville.
2nd - Jane Foley winning the Wangaratta night for 2 including dinner at Cafe Martini, Accommodation at Warby Lodge & a show at the fabulous new performing arts centre.
3rd - Dot Farrington winning dinner & accommodation at the Stanley Hotel.
Len the resident punter put the bets on for the ladies for the day's punters club.
Fashions on the field was a highlight with most of the ladies partisipating in a strut around the Star room, there was hot competition but ultimately our winners were: Julie Buckley winning first prize and Robyn Mcauliffe comming runners up, see their pics above.
Fantastic door prizes were won & everyone went home with something.
A huge thanks goes to all the people & businesses that donated prizes for the event including: IGA Bright, Star Hotel, many of the local shops of Bright, Richard Llanos, Cafe Martini, Warby Lodge, Wangaratta performing arts center & the Stanley Hotel.
We live in such a wonderful community full of people who are happy to give so much to its residents.
The biggest thankyou of all goes to Gail Bennett for organising the entire event, druming up interest from the ladies and organising the prizes / raffles / door prizes etc.
Its locals like Gail who can make such a difference to the lives of those that need some help, no one asked Gail to do this for us - she just heard that we were in need and went ahead and did something to help. Thanks Gail really we can't thankyou enough.
all our love the Casley's xxxxxxxxxx
