Powered by Community: Coolgardie Expo Shines Through! 🙌
Despite a power blackout first thing in the morning, along with rainy and overcast weather, the Coolgardie Expo was an incredible success. It is fair to say the day threw a few unexpected challenges our way early on, but thankfully, the community spirit was stronger than the weather. Not even a blackout could dim the day's success! A great example of community spirit, teamwork and people coming together to make things happen.
A huge shout-out to Chuck from What the Chuck for jumping into action and truly saving the day by providing generators and lighting until the power came back on and for capturing photos throughout the event. When the power went out, Chuck powered up💡Watch this space for more photos from the day, captured by Chuck.
MEEDAC is also incredibly grateful to the amazing staff at the Coolgardie Recreation Centre, who went above and beyond to help however they could and to ensure the Expo stayed on track.
