Friday night was kind of like the Oscars but not really. They loosened the Black Tie requirement and allowed suits. It was the Powercor Grampians Pyrenees Business Achievement Awards for which we had nominated for a number of categories. There were about 300 people in attendance at the Ararat town hall all on round tables of 10. Various awards were presented through the night. We were half listening to the Outstanding Primary Production category being announced when we heard the winner was Greenvale Meats and a big spotlight shone upon the table. For each award there is a recorded description of the business and various photographs are shown on the big screen. I cant actually remember anything that was said as we were in a bit of shock. We both got up on stage and Amanda made the speach. Nothing planed just off the cuff. These awards are every two years so in two years time we'll be shooting for Outstanding Business Enterprise.
