Thanks for the kind positive atmosphere Mim created by being present at our show,
Thanks again to you and all our other vendors for sticking it out through the rain!!!!
🦋🌈🍦🩵 3 MASSIVE THANK YOU’S FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR SWEET SWIRLS HEARTS! 🩵🍦🌈🦋
WOWZERS!!! What a rollercoaster of a Day 2 at the Alstonville Show 2026!!! 🎡🎪🙌🏼
Where do I even begin?! Well, they say things come in threes, so here goes!!! 🤪😜
🥇 THANK YOU NUMBER 1 – THE DAY SAVERS!!! 🔧🍦🙌🏼
Well, talk about starting the day with a BANG… and NOT the good kind!!! 💥🤣
Blue Bessy’s bread & butter, our STAR of the show, the trusty ice cream machine, decided to THROW A BELT first thing in the morning, just as we were opening!!! 😱🤦🏼♀️
Thinking our day was DONE before it had even begun, it was a mad dash into Ballina, crossing EVERYTHING that Ballina Bearings was open AND had the right size replacement belt!!! 🤞🏼🙏🏼
And HOOLEY DOOLEY, did the legend come through!!! 🙌🏼👏🏼 Along with my trusty, ever-so-handy hubby, who worked his magic and SAVED THE DAY!!! 🔧💪🏼🍦
Crisis averted, cones were back flying out the window and, most importantly, my NUMBER ONE rule at the ice cream truck remained UNBROKEN…
🚫😭 “NO TEARS AT THE ICE CREAM TRUCK!!!” 🤪😜🤣
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!!! You absolute legends!!! 🫶🏼🙏🏼🦋🌈🍦🩵
🥈 THANK YOU NUMBER 2 – THE SHOW LEGENDS!!! 🎡👏🏼🫶🏼
A MASSIVE hats off to the Alstonville Agricultural Society Inc, every single volunteer, organiser and everyone involved behind the scenes in pulling off what was undoubtedly one VERY challenging Show this year!!! 🙌🏼❤️
Mother Nature certainly decided to throw one RIGHT FAIR OLE TANTY!!! 🌧️💨⛈️ Throwing more than a few spanners in the works and making it impossible for the main arena animal events to go ahead due to safety concerns.
But despite all the challenges, changes, disappointments and curveballs thrown your way, YOU DID IT!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
From one local small family business owner’s point of view, you all did an absolutely FABULISHIOUS JOB!!! 🌈💖
The countless hours, hard work, blood, sweat and tears that go into organising and running an event like this do NOT go unnoticed or unappreciated!!!
Please know your efforts mean so much to us little businesses who get the privilege of being part of these wonderful community events.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! 🙏🏼🫶🏼🙌🏼🦋🍦🌈🩵
🥉 THANK YOU NUMBER 3 – OUR AMAZING COMMUNITY!!! ❤️🌈🍦
Now this one’s a BIGGIE!!! 🥹🫶🏼
To each and EVERY ONE of you beautiful humans, from near and far, who showed up, braved the weather, supported the Show, stopped by Blue Bessy, grabbed your favourite sweet treats, said G’DAY 👋🏼 and shared your smiles with the Sweet Swirls Gal’s…
YOU GUYS ARE THE REAL STARS OF THE SHOW!!! 🌟🌟🌟
Even with the disappointment of the last-minute fireworks cancellation 🎆😢, everyone still made the most of the day, and what a FABULISHIOUS way to finish with that AWESOME Monster Truck Show!!! 🚛💥🤘🏼
The night might not have ended with a literal BANG from the fireworks, but BOY OH BOY, it certainly still ended with a whole lot of HEART!!! ❤️🙌🏼
Because of YOU, your kindness, your smiles, your laughter and your continued love and support, our lil family business gets to keep doing what we absolutely LOVE… SLINGING CONES, SHARING SMILES & MAKING SWEET MEMORIES!!! 🍦🥰🌈
You have NO IDEA how much that means to me and my Sweet Swirls Fam Bam!!! 🥹💖
Days like these, even with the chaos, breakdowns, weather tantrums and unexpected hiccups, remind me just how incredibly lucky we are to live in and be part of such a FABULISHIOUS COMMUNITY WITH THE BIGGEST HEARTS!!! ♥️💙💜💛💚🧡🩷
So from this very grateful, slightly exhausted, ice-cream-slinging Boss Lady, my 2IC Sweet Swirls Gal yibita yibita that’s all folks…
THANK YOU 🙏🏼 THANK YOU 🙏🏼 THANK YOU!!!
We couldn’t do what we so very much LOVE without YOU ALL!!! 🫶🏼
Looking forward to next year, Alstonville Show… hopefully with a little less DRAMA from Mother Nature AND the ice cream machine!!! 🤣🤞🏼🍦
With loads of Love, Light, Gratitude & Sweet Swirls,
The Sweet Swirls Fam Bam
