There were gorgeous gowns and stunning suits at the Condobolin PAH and I Association Coronation Show Ball on Saturday, 12 August.
Held at the SRA Pavilion, the Ball proved popular with the community, with many donning their finery and dancing the night away to ‘Ballz n All’.
Nadana Clark was crowned Princess of the Ball and Corey Herbert was crowned Prince of the Ball. Tanya Jones was named Queen of the Ball, while Pat Boake was named King of the Ball.
