THE Peregian Beach Business Association could not have asked for a better spring day for the annual celebration of local food, fashion and fun.
Held in the Peregian Beach Village on Wednesday 2 September, the Peregian Fiesta showcased local food and fashion, plus live entertainment from the Pantastic Steel Band.
Fashion on show included brands from local stores, Soul Santuary and Pink Lotus, plus unique creations from local TAFE students.
A special highlight on the day was the presentation of a HeartSine defibrillator to help protect the pulse of Peregian from G and A First Aid Supplies, donated by RACV resort Noosa.
The defibrillator, worth $3000, was presented to Peregian Beach Business Association president Ron Leaman by RACV Noosa Resort manager Darren McClenaghan during the lunch.
According to Take Heart Australia, around 30,000 people suffer a sudden cardiac arrest in Australia each year, and on average only about 10 per cent of these people survive, usually because they have access to a defibrillator and trained citizens willing to provide CPR.
Peregian Beach Business Association said it was pleasing and grateful to now have this equipment on hand.
