P&C volunteers put in an “Olympic” effort on Saturday night to raise funds for the local State School at the annual Kumbia Brain Drain.<\/p>\n

Kumbia State School P&C secretary Mia Dugdell said the tally so far was $10,000 raised.<\/p>\n

“So we are very happy with that!” she said.<\/p>\n

The P&C had not yet decided on what to do with the money, although it had plans to do up both the Kindy and the Prep areas at the school.<\/p>\n

The 29th Kumbia Brain Drain – a wacky annual trivia competition held in the Memorial Hall – had a “Go For Gold” Olympics theme.<\/p>\n

The 16 teams which booked in were invited to dress up to match.<\/p>\n

Compere was Channel 9’s Ian Healy … er, not really … Maidenwell’s Dean Cullen put in an game-winning effort behind the mike.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The group which took out the “Best Dressed” title were “Front Row Seats” which dressed as lifeguards.<\/p>\n

The overall winning team on the night was “Glad We’re Not Naked Like The Original Olympians”.<\/p>\n

In second place were the “Aussie Fencing Team” and third were the “Floorworld Allstars”.<\/p>\n
