The Get Chopped Community Events Inc. group hosted the inaugural Greenmount Billy Cart Challenge which drew hundreds of onlookers and participants from across Queensland.
More than 800 people braved the inclement weather on event day to watch the 65 participants navigate Greenmount’s main street.
The event was devised to boost tourism and create something for the local community to join.
After planning the event for more than 12 months, the day went off without a hitch.
The organisers are preparing for an even bigger and better event to continue to drive community spirit.
The challenge was a great example of the community coming together to put on an event that is truly for the local community.
The day created a great economic boost to the district.
The group further supported the local community by having local school groups cook the barbecue.
As a free community event, the challenge offered a fantastic family-friendly and fun day out.
