The small town banded together to help Candelo mother of three young boys Harmony Morrow, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment.

“We had local kids coming up to us telling us they’d never seen snow before and that it was the best thing they’d ever seen,” Harmony’s husband Tim said following the action-packed fundraiser.

“They were queuing up and they couldn’t get enough of it.

“It was a very positive day.”

The Morrow family had friends visit from Canberra and Sydney for the day and thanked the community for its support.

“It was great to see the amount of people who turned up for Harmony,” Tim said.

“And I’d like to say thanks to the community of Candelo and the surrounding area, close family and friends and everyone who helped out on the day as well as with organising and promoting the event.”

Tim’s uncle Colin said the day was a “real success” with over 250 cars counted in the main ring of the showground alone.

“I’d like to thank everyone who donated and to everyone for coming along,” he said on Monday.

“We had a successful day and the snow was a real hit, the billycart race was a hit and all the food sold out.

“Even all the cakes baked for the day sold out.”

Moving the snow from Perisher for the weekend was no mean feat, taking “four to five hours with a big excavator,” according to Barry Moffitt, who shipped the snow down for the event.

“It was great; we got on the car tyres and the surfboards,” he said with a laugh.

“You can expect bigger and better next year.”

The day also saw Candelo’s first billycart race, live music, dog jumping and pony rides.
