Any way for this fundraiser, it was a chance to take a group of people up to Lobethal on a bus, show them around and hope that everyone has a great time!!!!! I ended up running two bus trips up, one on the 13th December and the next on the 20th December.
Both nights were big busy nights up in Lobethal, with the first tour being the opening night of Lobethal and the second tour being the Lobethal pageant night.
I wish I could say both tours went off without a hitch, but well the first night we had promised our group that we would be going to Melbas Chocolate Factory, but alas for the first time in many years, they were closing within normal business hours, it was all good though, because we got to Lobethal in time to walk the main street, buy some cherries, some kids went to Scaletrics car races etc. I was a great night.
My second tour was a little more eventful with our bus breaking down just outside of Woodside, it was one of those occasions were as an organiser you think 'holy crap what are we going to do now?' Well luck had it that we stopped outside a lovely little pizza shop and one of the owners came out and offered to take our bus load of people in to Lobethal in an old war Ambulance. This might not have been the way the guests were expecting to get in, but it did add to the excitement and adventure of the night. Most of my guests made it into the main street and in time for the pageant, pheww thank goodness for wonderful community spirit.With a new bus dropped off we then ventured around the streets of Lobethal enjoying the Christmas lights!!!!!
In total for these tours we raised $334.74 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Many thanks to those who attended and helped me towards my goal.
