Everyone loves seeing records tumble, including us!
More than 21,000 visitors to our Hawkesbury City Council Pops-Up at the Show display at the Hawkesbury Show on the weekend saw us smash our previous record of 17,000 at last year's show.
We also celebrated being awarded a second-place display ribbon by the show committee, making it four years in a row we have received a ribbon!
Once again, our award-winning passport activity was a smash hit with 1,500 visitors of all ages taking up the challenge to collect stamps from our emergency service partners and winning a fun prize. We also gave away 1,000 plants thanks to our Hawkesbury Community Nursery team.
