It was the first carnival for the club where they were available - courtesy of the Community Sporting Grants program and Kempsey Shire Council who managed the installation.
Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan was present, getting around the crowd and selling tickets in the fundraising raffle that had been generously donated by Nestle Smithtown.
Kempsey Macleay RSL Sportsperson of the year and Club Captain Max Farrell drew the raffle and to the delight of the crowd life member Robert Guyer was the lucky winner.
