As usual Gladstone has some stand out businesses who have jumped at the opportunity to support the event. Say Espresso Bar have sponsored the BBQ and have volunteered to cook with all of the proceeds going to the charity. Ownsys Retro Bar will be there selling coffee, FantasyFace fairies doing face painting and Dana Crisan doing Jamberry nail manicures. Kinnect physio have volunteered a physio service. These will all be gold coin donations back to charity.
