Pannawonica residents were treated to a weekend of glamour and fun in June, with the annual Gala Ball and Family Fun Day.
Organised by the Gala Association – a group of residents who plan the Gala weekend every year – the event was supported by Rio Tinto, Hitachi, The Shire of Ashburton, North West 4WD as well as many local businesses.
Kicking off the weekend with a Casino Royale-themed Gala Ball, locals were encouraged to channel their inner-Bonds or Bond-Girls, and dress to impress. The entrance to the local community hall was transformed with stylish lighting and a red carpet, and guests were welcomed with a drink and gourmet canapés on arrival.
Other features of the Gala Ball included elaborate decorations, live entertainment and dancing, and a photo booth.
The following day the Gala Fair was held at the town oval which has proved to be the highlight of the Pannawonica annual calendar, particularly with the 150 children who live in the town (and perhaps some of the big kids too!).
Among the many fun activities on offer were show rides, pet parades, sand art and face painting. The VFRS even paid a visit with the fire engine!
