The inaugural CJD fun run kicked off on the weekend and despite inclement weather the event attracted around 450 runners. The first event of its kind was held in Emerald on Sunday 27 October and it was Craig Appleby who took out the men's 10km fun-run, with Kellie Emmerson winning the 10km women's event. Organiser Melissa Williamson thanked everyone for the support and said the final donation tally will be announced in the coming week. "So many people helped out the local CFA units and groups, and it's a reminder the amazing place we live in. there were so many people that came together and chipped in which was amazing."

Street Party in pictures The Mount Evelyn Street Party came to life on Sunday, with market stalls, stage performances, dancing, classic cars, vibrant 1950s costumes and more. Alex Burbury and Mick Gilbert were crowned Ms and Mr Mount Evelyn, while plenty of other awards were won for those who dressed to impress. Photographer Greg Carrick was there to capture all of the action.
The fun run was dedicated to Sandy, a close friend of Melissa's who was diagnosed with CJD and passed away in 2013. Sandy's mother attended the event and presented Mel with a special medal.
