More than 100 people go back in time with glamour of 1923 on show at Shire of Cuballing’s Winter Ball

This month’s Shire of Cuballing biannual Winter Ball was themed around the glamour of 1923.

The venue — the 1914-built Cuballing Agricultural Hall — is not far off that era and was beautifully decorated to show off its old-world charm with ostrich feather lights and a giant candelabra.

Tickets for the ball sold out within a week, according to the shire. The hall was filled to capacity on the night with 120 local attendees all ready for a night of dancing, drinking and catching up with friends new and old.

Local bands Ma Baker and Don’t Tell Daisy entertained the crowd, who were well-fed by Christine Hill’s catering and watered at the Great Gatsby bar.

“We put on these events to give people a reason to stay in Cuballing, and a reason to come back if they have moved away,” shire president Eliza Dowling said.

“We have a great crowd of young people in our area and plenty that are young of heart and we want to give them the opportunity to get together and make some memories.”

The Shire of Cuballing thanked everyone involved in organising and running the event on the night.

All proceeds from the ball are put back into the local community, being donated to various community groups around town and the region.

The ball is held biannually, so it will be back in 2027.
