Successful Golden Horseshoes Festival

By all accounts it was a very successful Golden Horseshoes Festival held over Easter. There were over 50 floats in the Grand Parade at 1pm on Saturday. Estimated 20,000 people attended the festival. Dorothy the Dinosaur was a crowd favourite. We were very busy in the Info Centre, we had about 750 people through the centre on Saturday and 760 people through Sunday. The Easter Egg Hunt and Golden Egg hunt drew a large crowd of 5,000 people. Matthew told me that the Beechworth Sweet company had 13,000 Easter eggs in the Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday. Wow! Well done to every one involved. It was a terrific festival!
