Spearheaded by Rebecca Peachey and Tara's Hall Hotel owner Michelle Koch, locals turned out in large numbers on Friday, May 14, to support the event, named in honour of 14-year-old Dolly Everett who died by suicide in 2018.
With James Holland Band providing the entertainment, community members spent big on a number of auction items, with all funds raised on the night going to the Alannah & Madeline Foundation.
“We had an awesome night,” Ms Koch said. "The amount of people, I didn't think we would get the crowd we did.
“A lot of people commented on the night, saying how fantastic the night was.”
Ms Koch thanked all the businesses who donated items to raffle and auction on the night, as well as the community for supporting the event.
“Without them, we couldn't have had the fundraiser,” she said.
