It’s the race that stops the nation and on November 1, over 30 ladies from across the Shire were treated to a lovely luncheon to celebrate the 2016 Melbourne Cup and raise funds for Dumbleyung Playgroup. Held at the Dumbleyung District Club, many dusted off their fascinators and enjoyed a lovely lunch and afternoon.
Guests enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch and drinks were flowing as they purchased raffle tickets, sweeps in the race and browsed/purchased the great assortment of clothing and accessories from Sand and Salt, Lake Grace.
