There were family and school reunions galore and lots of reminiscing and swapping tales.<\/p>\n<p>The team from Kumbia Kindy was kept busy dishing out hot food while other volunteers handed out sample bags and organised name tags.<\/p>\n<p>The street parade was led by the South Burnett Caledonian Pipe Band and included antique and modern farm machinery (including a massive self-propelled boom sprayer), classic cars, horse-drawn wagons, business floats &#8230; and two pigs wearing tutus.<\/p>\n<p>A popular attraction was Steve Hood&#8217;s steam-driven 1910 Case traction engine which worked its whole life in the South Burnett region threshing corn and peanuts.<\/p>\n<p>When the parade was over traditional fun and games began, including three-legged races and pie and lamington eating contests.<\/p>\n<p>In the Memorial Hall, visitors had the opportunity for voting for the prettiest teacup as well as enjoying a range of exhibits, including bridal gowns from throughout the ages.<\/p>\n<p>A large display of historic photographs also attracted much interest in the Kumbia Heritage Centre.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Related article: <a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/2012\/07\/kumbia-ready-for-100th-birthday\/\">Kumbia Ready For 100th Birthday<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7475\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7475\" style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120728kumbia.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7475\" title=\"Kumbia Centenary\" src=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120728kumbia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120728kumbia.jpg 620w, https:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120728kumbia-300x216.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7475\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steve Hood&#8217;s 1910 Case Traction Engine was a popular attraction on the day<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<table width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"3\" cellpadding=\"3\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\">\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_7428\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7428\" style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120728kumbia3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7428\" title=\"Kumbia Centenary\" src=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120728kumbia3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120728kumbia3.jpg 610w, https:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120728kumbia3-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7428\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sharon Yeates (nee Parker) was happy to play the clown for the street parade<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_7439\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7439\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120728kumbia101.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7439\" title=\"Kumbia Centenary\" src=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120728kumbia101.jpg\" alt=\"Kumbia Centenary\" width=\"360\" height=\"241\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7439\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bob Horton, ex-Mannuem now Kumbia, caught up with Col O&#8217;Hanlon, from Kingaroy<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/td>\n<td>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_7440\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7440\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120728kumbia111.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7440\" title=\"Kumbia Centenary\" src=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120728kumbia111.jpg\" alt=\"Kumbia Centenary\" width=\"360\" height=\"241\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7440\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">John &amp;
