I would like to give a big shoutout and thankyou to every stall holder, contributors to prize packs and my stall and the public who made the weekend a success.

Couldn't have done it without you all. I appreciate the support and happy everyone had a successful one and two days.

I am a man that doesn't have much to say, but very grateful for every bit of help leading upto and during the festival.

See you all next year.

Cheers
Eric

Tomorrow make sure you got up Stripey Sundae for their chilli icecream. They are located across the road next to the Chapel.

Want to taste test a superhot icecream before I drop it into a challenge. This is your chance.
Get in there and give it ago.

The first Gold Creek chilli festival is on this Saturday and Sunday.
I'll have chilli hot chocolate, chilli chocolate ice cream (very hot), and an extremely hot version of the chilli chocolate ice cream which I don't think would be any hyperbole to call the world's hottest ice cream. $2 a spoonful for the world's hottest ice cream.
Vegan options for all the above too.

What a day and we still have another one to go.

A big thanks to all stall holders today for the support. Couldn't have done it without you.

I hope the day was a big success for you all. Word on the street all stall holders didn't have time to scratch themselves.

A number of 2 day stalls have already sold out of everything they had. Congrats on a very successful day.

Special mention to Phil from Burnin Bites Down Under , Team Scoville Slayer team for helping host the challenges. Hope you got some great footage guys.

Would also like to thank my father, and mates, Steve and Luke for helping with my store and tables.
Including Sarah who runs E & B Interiors Australia the other half of the shop for having to deal with all the mayhem today and helping out.

Looking forward to another exciting day on Sunday.
