The event is held on one day, although visitors are allowed to sleep the night before and the night after the event. All earnings generated from the event are invested into further developing the community.
The roads leading into and through the town display over 100 characters. The largest of these is 10 m long and 5 m high. All the characters are created primarily from empty lubricant tins and drums and are based on entries in the annual Bush Races.
