The owners and staff of The Shop at South Golden Beach wish to congratulate the coordinators of Splendour in The Grass for enlivening the streets of our town with the vibrancy and colour that young people bring.
Their behaviour was exemplary and their enthusiasm and joy was infectious. Not only have we benefitted as a small local business but the increased patronage generated bigger orders for all our local supplies and growers and created much needed extra hours and income for our staff.
However, even if we were not business owners, we would still appreciate the benefits that events at North Byron parklands bring to the north of the shire.
We could hear the festival over two nights from our shop and home but only outside, and even so it wasn’t offensive.
