Lobethal News A big crowd turned out for the second staging of the Lobethal Grand Carnival over the October Long Weekend. Highlights were many but perhaps first ranked was the attendance of the event Patron, and 1939 AGP winner, Allan Tomlinson, who endeared himself to all he encountered. The US-based cars made a huge splash and for that we acknowledge the commitment of Jon Shirley, Peter Giddings and Jim Stranberg in bringing the cars to Australia. Weather forced some last minute re-jigging but after a massive effort by all concerned - officials and volunteers especially, the clouds parted on cue and the event proceeded safely as planned. Major sponsorship by Clipsal 500 Adelaide and SA Tourism Commission with the backing of many quality sponsors and a raft of media coverage by Channel 7, "The Advertiser", "Mount Barker Courier" and the "Hills Weekender" ensured the event high awareness. The organisers wish to sincerely thank all those who gave selflessly to the staging of Lobethal 2009. Without your help, the task of staging this challenging event would have been impossible, a scenario we are sure was the case 70 years ago.
