While the committee hasn't finished counting the number of tickets sold and don't have final numbers, Emily Falson is confident this year continued the event's strong run.

"It was so great, we had so many people through the gates, because COVID has put a stymie on everything recently, we were really hoping to see people out in force and I think we did," Ms Falson said.

"There's been so many major-major events cancelled recently and I think we're a small-major event, we did some really well placed advertising, we made sure people heard about it who needed to hear about it and I think all the hard work we did setting it up has really paid off, which is great."

Ms Falson hardly had time to stop and actually enjoy that effort's pay-off on the day, because she was still busy operating in her capacity as an announcer and COVID marshall.

"I was spruiking on the day, so I was out there and got to feel a bit of it, just managing the day's events and directing everyone, we had a whole entertainment area and a section with the PCYC and the service clubs so there was a lot of direction to give out," Ms Falson said.

"I was making sure to fill all those duties as a COVID warden too, making sure people kept apart."

"It was a great vibe out there all the way through, there were more people than last year, definitely, and the flux of people going through the gates continued long into the afternoon."

The cancellation of the usual Saturday parade through town that functions as the traditional pre-show for the main event on Sunday was felt, but Ms Falson said that most people were happy to see many of the usual vehicles still on display throughout the weekend.

"We had a few different things instead, which worked really well, the vintage car rally and the tractor trek through town were both huge, it was a lovely jaunt and it was very successful for them," Ms Falson said.

"That's one of the great things about this, all those clubs can do different events here and it raises awareness for them, and for not-for-profits and service clubs, it's a huge fundraising event."

The vintage car display show, which routinely draws clubs from across the state, was again a 'huge hit' as well.

"There was a real feel that something big was going on this weekend, we thought we might lose that because of the parade not being able to be on, but we didn't," Ms Falson said.

"It was a lovely feeling."

The usual fundraising events were also present, and had a huge impact, with the Red Cross, Royal Flying Doctors, PCYC, Lions Club and more in attendance.
