Always fun in Gumboots

Winter fun, fashion and philanthropy for a great cause _ and don’t forget your gumboots!

The “much-anticipated” Glamour & Gumboots fundraiser from July 1 to August 11 will help lift the winter gloom and embrace the winter in style.

Glamour & Gumboots is inviting participants to showcase their creativity by blending the (rugged) charm of gumboots with the elegance of glamorous attire. Whether you prefer to dazzle in sequins or keep it cozy with knits, strut your stuff while supporting a vital cause.

Competition categories include women’s, men’s, children’s, groups, the Spirit Award and the people’s choice.

Thanks to the support of local businesses, the competition has prizes for winners in each category, so join in some winter fun, express your unique style, and make a significant impact on our community.

Taking part in Glamour & Gumboots 2024 will directly benefit our regional food banks, helping to provide essential support to those in need during the winter months. Every entry and every donation counts towards making a difference in the lives of many.

Let’s come together to celebrate, have fun, and show our support. Hose off the gumboots, don your most glamorous outfits, and get ready to shine!
