President Cheryl Lantry said the event was incredibly challenging to stage but the feedback she received after it was all done and dusted showed her it was all worth it.

"It was the most challenging show, in all the years I've been doing this, to pull together because of these restrictions.
"We were pretty focused on keeping the town safe and keeping ourselves safe so we went ahead with it the way we did.
