According to Mr Faulkner, they had families booking accommodation in town to make sure they could stay back for the spectacular.
"Several families booked accommodation and most made a weekend out of it," he said.
It's the first time the event has run in three years and according to Mr Faulkner they've already got backing for the next one.
"I'd like to see it grow even further," he said.
"We think the success of the year and the weather being the best we could ask for, that we will conduct future events on the third Saturday in October each year."
