HUNDREDS of people flocked to Tarnagulla on Sunday for the annual Strictly Vintage Fair.
People from across the region meandered stalls, vintage cars, motorcycles and caravans lining Commercial Road for the four-hour celebration of the quirky and daggy.
Sisters Holly and Jayde Glistener took out the pinny competition, beating off a strong challenge from Robyn Johns.
Robyn had crafted her apron from clay target shooting championship sashes won by her uncle George Hayman in the 1960s.
She said the treasured sashes were a special tribute to a vintage era.
Youngsters enjoyed traditional games and the local golf club held a putting competition.
Gold enthusiasts shared their stories with TV star miner Brent Shannon. One even brought along a replica of a nugget found by his uncle in the district 30 years ago.
The fair was organised by Southern Loddon Tourism with co-ordinator Frances Clarke bringing together a team of volunteers who started from 7am to have the event ready to roll.
“It’s been another great day ... a crowd that has been up on previous years,” said Frances.
