Robbie T got up close and personal with award-winning acts.
Halfway through the event, SES volunteers had to leave and attend an emergency call due to bad weather.
Ms Clohesy said the SES’ efforts were a “true testament” to the selfless act of volunteering and it was great to celebrate the Town’s volunteers.
