Cobar’s first ever Grey Mardi Gras proved to be a huge success with locals and visitors of all ages getting into the retro spirit. Cobar Preschool (pictured above) was one of many local groups to take part in Saturday’s parade, while Friday’s dance lessons proved popular before the sold-out dinner dance. The main street was packed on Saturday for the parade before over 900 people streamed through the gates for the Gig on the Grass.
