BROOKE Street was buzzing and jumping on Sunday when an estimated 4000 people soaked up the fun of Inglewood Alive!
The town’s annual one-day festival brought together local businesses and organisations to promote the community.
Businesses were stocked and ready for the first customers before the official start time of 10am. Cafe 3517 created a window servery selling slushies to the crowd basking in the 30-degree sun while the town’s famous antique and collectable shops provided a relaxing contrast to bustle on the street.
Local organisations including the football club, schools, pony clubs and Inglewood and Districts Health Service raised funds totalling in the thousands of dollars with stalls and raffles. The bowling club ladies did a roaring trade with Devonshire teas.
The woodchop events had the cream of the sport enthralling spectators at the bottom end of Brooke Street. John Coffey had assembled woodchop royalty for the events - Laurence O’Toole Snr and Laurence O’Toole Jnr, world champion Dave Coffey and a string of current Australian under 21 team members.
Vintage and veteran cars and motorcycles were a hit. Vehicles being driven from across the Loddon Shire to go on display and adding shine to the day of celebration.
