Up to 100 people made memories at the annual event on December 19 in the community hall in the district north-west of Dubbo.
A visit by Santa Claus was a highlight for the dozens of children attending.
A barbecue meal was provide to guests with a grant from the NSW Department of Primary Industries' Drought Resilience Fund.
In the lead-up to the night there was a strong turn out of local volunteers to clean dust from the hall and decorate it for the festivities.
District residents also baked for a delicious supper spread.
Coboco Hall was built in 1912 and has remained at the centre of community life, having been used for parties, dinners, and other events throughout the decades.
