Silly Socks overran the Southern Cross Bowls Club Saturday as 18 players added a bit of colour to the green.
The winners (of the Bowls) were the team of Penny, Rem and Randy.
The Jumpers and Jazz Open Fours Carnival was held on Sunday attracting 12 teams from across the district all keen to get their hands on a share of the $1000 prize money.
There was a little more than a gentle breeze about and the winners who blew in on the Westerlies from Texas and Inglewood were Ray Williams, Willy Smith, Nev Morris and Wes Smith.
Runners-up were Dale Callaghan, Elana Scott, Terry Plowman and Graeme “Bogga” and Kath.
Liam Holland went home very happy after winning the $50 lucky number draw.
The Raffle winners were Gary Penn, Joe Torrisi, Doug Christensen, Marlene Hall, Beverley, Cita Weier and Jack Bell. The club wishes to thank the band of volunteers responsible for making the day so successful.
