“Drag Queens” Janine Hockenhull, Debbie Dillon and Lynelle Cross get into the Piston Cup spirit
August 20, 2012
The 19th annual Kumbia Brain Drain trivia competition – this year dubbed “The Piston Cup” – was a huge success on Saturday night with more than 200 competitors taking part and between $4500 and $5000 raised for the Kumbia State School P&C.
Louise Johnston, from the P&C, said the funds would be put towards new technology at the school.
“It all went really well. We had a great night and lots of fun,” she said.
Competitors, many of them dressed in fancy dress to honour the “motor racing” theme, were split into teams as they competed for prizes.
The winning team was “Fluffy Dice Up The Front, Nodding Elvis Out The Back”, with “Coopers Anti-Climax Six” runners-up.
The Kumbia Memorial Hall was packed with ‘racing’ aficianados of many varieties for the annual Kumbia Brain Drain
