The Rock for Recovery event was held on the 27th of October in Young.
It was a spectacular day and a spectacular event.
The day went fantastic and so many community services and community members attended and participated on the day.
The weather was beautiful on the day and the music was fantastic.
The Temora High School band were the winners of the day with their performances, one of the guitarists even played his guitar behind his head (very impressive)!
2nd Place was the solo performer ‘Juicy Lane’ with her beautiful vocals.
The jumping castle and face-painter were a hit with the kids and ‘The Hilltops Youth Action Group’ provided popcorn and fairy floss as well which the kids loved. All the stall holders were great contributors today.
Stall holders included; Hilltops Youth Action Group, Young Crisis Accommodation Centre, Grand Pacific Health, Wellways, The Community Hub, Flourish Australia and The Blackdog Ride.
Our Mayor Brian Ingram is to be acknowledged for his heartfelt lived experience and understanding of Mental Health.
Young Relics Heritage Motor Club held their bike/car show and shine and were so impressed with the day they’ve decided to make the annual ‘Flourish Australia Rock for Recovery’ their annual event as well. The cars and bikes on display were amazing!
There is just too much mention and too many thanks to give but we feel so welcomed and supported by the Hilltops community that we can’t wait for the next one! What a turn-out for our very first event!
