Saturday, 12 July 2008 Windy Whyalla turned on a blustery day for the NAB 150 Tour and which had our activities blowing left right and centre!  Out to brave the cool weather and winds though were a bunch of very enthusiastic locals and plenty of great NAB staff.  AFL loving youngsters were keen to meet AFL Ambassador and Adelaide Crows star, Ken McGregor and he chatted with them and signed autographs before turning his attention to the all important big kick showdown.   Ken presided over the Big Kick competition which turned quite comical with the winds blowing some kicks well off course! The various age group winners came through though after a tough battle and collected their prizes.  The AFL also awarded special 150th commemorative plaques to some wonderful local volunteers who have contributed an incredible amount of time and energy into the sport in Whyalla over a number of years. The afternoon’s entertainment brought some die hard country fans out to party as SA local Tiffney Stroh took to the stage followed by lead act, the very popular Adam Brand.  Boots tapped the ground and fans sang loudly along to his many country music chart topping tunes and the heavy gale blowing through the park paled into insignificance as too much fun was being had!  Some lucky radio prize winners also got the chance to meet Adam backstage for a meet and greet session.   The Mt Laura Lions club kept hungry bellies well fed during the day with some tasty snags from which monies raised will be matched by NAB and put towards a number of community projects in the pipeline for Whyalla. So thank you Whyalla for making us feel so welcome and breaking up our time on the road with such a warm welcoming stopover in your town.  Thank you in particular to Mary and Johan, managers of the NAB in Whyalla.
