Creative carts and huge crowds defied the storms at Greenmount Billy Cart Challenge this weekend.
Despite the ominous rumblings of thunder, crowds swarmed at the Greenmount Billy Cart Challenge at the Get Chopped Pub on Saturday, November 29.
“The storm coming through probably scared a few people away but it was a great day and all the kids had a great time,” Get Chopped Community Events vice president Brendon Quirey said.
“The whole community really came together and put on another good show.”
From Bundaberg Rum carts to clown carts blowing bubbles, competitors went all out – showcasing their immense talent and imagination.
“They are getting better and better every year.” Mr Quirey said.
“There is a whole community of people who are competing against each other to build the cooler cart and they get more creative and more interesting each year.”
“I think people came out of curiosity the first year and then after that they’ve come because it’s a really good day out,” Mr Quirey said.
“Then they spread the word.
“Some of the competitors are from northern New South Wales, middle and north Queensland, and the Gold Coast and they would have never heard of Greenmount Toowoomba before this.”
Mr Quirey dispelled any rumours of closing the event, promising to back bigger than ever next year.
“Definitely we will be going ahead next year, the community loves it and it’s great to see everyone together enjoying some old school fun- racing a billy cart,” he said.
