Numbers were up at this year’s Reef’n’Beef Extravaganza at Ironpot … and we were assured many times this had absolutely nothing to do with the upcoming Council election!
There were officially 351½ guests in attendance (no, we don’t know either), with more than a sprinkling of current councillors and Council candidates.
To be fair, many are regular attendees but this year’s event was also too good an opportunity to pass up.
The real stars of the night, of course, were the prawns, bugs, oysters, Red Emperors and slabs of beef which had diners queuing up eagerly for dinner.
Team Ironpot hosts the annual celebration of fine dining – which raises funds for charity – at the Ironpot Farmers Hall.
It’s an opportunity for people from Bell to Brisbane to get together, enjoy a few drinks and swap yarns, and there was plenty of that happening under the large marquees set up along the front of the hall.
Live music this year was provided by Tucker and Chop (Darren Schmidt and Glenn Lumsden) who kept the crowd entertained – and dancing – as the night progressed.
Inside the hall, temperatures were raised but it had nothing to do with politics … the recent rain stayed away but the humidity and summer heat ensured diners were losing a few pounds before they had chance to put them back on with piled up all-you-can-eat platters.
And spare a thought for Judy Crawford and her team from JC Catering who were standing the heat in the kitchen …
This was the 12th annual Reef’n’Beef – always one of the most popular social events on the South Burnett calendar – and one of the busiest for several years.
