The North Perth Town Hall looked spectacular on the night, decorated with fairy lights and native flowers and foliage, much of which was collected in the Valley and lovingly arranged by Stacey Litchfield.

 
Peter Blake, culinary extraordinaire, headed the kitchen, turning out platters of gourmet canapés and wowing the crowd with an amazing dessert selection at the end of the night.

Bar staff were busy serving the wide selection of wines, with Cullens, a regular sponsor, being one of the most popular wineries featured. The crew from Treehouse Brewery impressed all with beers, cider and kombucha on tap at their two very funky mobile bars.


Guests enjoyed live music performed by Trouvaille, who donated their evening in support of the event. Meanwhile the silent auction and merchandise table, spinning wheel and the ‘who’s who’ game kept everyone busy between sets of songs.

A huge thank you to all who volunteered, cooked, cleaned, attended and promoted our event – it is the Valley’s biggest fundraiser of the year and vital in assisting with our significant vet and feed costs.
