Testimonials from AFL Gather Round

You guys put on a great show. Best Footy game I have been too.
Tomas Evan - The Engraving Crew

Overall, we feel the whole event went well. We noticed an increase in traffic. Having a sale on for it was a great idea.
Lauren – Kidstuff, Norwood

Gather Round for the whole state was amazing, the city/suburbs were buzzing and everyone was talking about it, not just fans of footy. From my point of view as a small business owner in the NPSP council area the event was great. It was a chance for me to be involved with the community and showcase my business to thousands of people whom not many knew I even existed.
Jed Coffey – Reform Distilling 

Overall it was a good success for the State / The Parade. We saw a moderate lift in sales over the weekend. Lots of Fremantle / Gold Coast supporters (scarves / jumpers) in the restaurant.
Tom McClure – Grill’d Norwood
