00:00So yeah, Dana how many years have you been involved in the Christmas lunch?
00:04I've been very fortunate that I've been involved for the last nine years which is very exciting
00:09although the event has been running in the Hunter for 24 years.
00:13How has this year's come together?
00:15Oh it's glorious and we've got a beautiful sunny day with no wind so that makes me very very happy
00:20because my balloons can just fly away and just and make it very festive but it's all beautiful
00:26as you can see there's quite a lot of you know goods to give away today as well as lots of food
00:31and beverages. How have you seen the event change over the years?
00:34Look it was really difficult during the COVID period but I was adamant about making sure the
00:39event still takes place by having a Christmas lunch express takeaway so we're back to full
00:46speed now with lots of activities and lots of fun for everyone.
