Guests gathered at the Moama Bowling Club for a day of fashion, fun and fundraising.
This year's event raised funds to help establish employment pathways and job training for people with disability in the Campaspe-Murray region.
While the amount of money raised is yet to be finalised, Vivid estimates the total to be between $25,000 and $30,000.

Vivid executive manager resources Shannon Walker said it was a successful day made possible by the support of sponsors and businesses.
“The day was fantastic, lively, full of energy and entertainment,” she said.
“Thank you to the sponsors and local businesses who donated/contributed to the event. Without their support, it would not now be the most attended Oaks Day in the region.”
