Tom Price town centre was transformed into a hive of excitement and activity earlier this month with funfare rides, concerts, local talent, art exhibitions, firework display and a variety of stalls all to celebrate the 2013 Nameless Jarndunmunha Festival!
Reece Mastin, winner of Australia’s X Factor in 2011, was the headline act at a youth concert on Friday night.
Shire of Ashburton councillor Peter Foster said for a small town like Tom Price, the festival had a lot of heart to it.
"We have a real sense of community spirit and that’s one of the things that has kept me in Tom Price for as long as I have been," he said.
The Street Parade was also huge success this year with 22 floats entering the parade and this year’s theme “Winter Wonderland” was a hit with the local schools & community groups.
The parade, led by Ian Ireland on bagpipes also featured the Festival mascot, Jundi, The Rock Wallaby and closed off with Tom Price Fire & Rescue Service vehicles and Tom Price Bushfire Service Vehicles.
Overall Street Parade winner was Tom Price North Primary School with their entry “As individual as a snowflake”.
'Jundi Jumpers' entertained the audience with their skipping rope skills and impressive choreographed performances.
Well done the this year's Festival Committee who have once again done an outstanding job in organising the iconic event for Tom Price.
The entire committee, volunteers and shire staff formed a great team and contributed to ensuring the event ran smoothly. A special thanks to all involved, including the local businesses who supported the event..... Thank you!!!
