That is what Griffith man Koala Jones said about the ride-on lawnmower racing day, coming to Griffith on Saturday.
Mr Jones and Andrew Bock have spent the past year organising the event, which will feature several races, food and beverage stands, pony rides, water slides and jumping castles.
After raising money for Cystic Fibrosis for a number of years Mr Jones was determined to bring an exciting new event to Griffith with the aim of raising more money for the worthy cause.
Mr Bock, who races throughout the year, came on board and helped organise the event, which is always well received and raises money for a charity.
"That's why we do it, every town we go we raise money for a charity, we don't raise money for ourselves, we do this for charity.”
Griffith’s first lawn mower races will be held at the Showgrounds on Saturday, February 4 with tickets available for purchase at the gates.
