Over 100 people filled the school hall, dressed in their finest Akubra hat, jeans and R.M. Williams boots to support the students in their learning and education.
The prize table was overflowing with generous donations from local businesses, the Hospitality class cooked up some treats and local farmer Matt Winslow donated fresh sweet corn.
The Bowraville Beginners Line Dancing Club put on a wonderful display which warmed the crowd up for the main event, the YeeHaa Cowboy Bingo.
Agriculture teacher, Ms Wilson, is planning a cattle clinic here on the Mid North Coast. The three day event will hopefully be a mixture of both beef and dairy and will teach students about judging, parading and show prepping.
The Mackay family are strong supporters of Bowraville Central School and a visit to their dairy is also on the cards.
Over $1600 was raised from the night and Akubra donated a $200 gift card because they were impressed with the literacy component of the cattle club program … this saw students hand write the envelopes and address letters personally to businesses.
