"People travelled from all over to attend the event, bringing more business into the town. "The only way to attract more customers each year is to establish a reputation for excellence, and that is exactly what my vision is for our town."

Entertainment included visits from celebrity chefs Saira Hamilton and Anne Harnan, who gave live cooking demonstration from the kitchen stage.
