In 1933 the town of Toodyay decided to celebrate its centenary believing the old townsite had been surveyed in 1933. A number of events were planned, the last of which were held on the 24th October 1933. These were the Pioneers’ Dinner and Children’s Dance. The pioneers’ reception in the afternoon was managed by the Toodyay Branch of the CWA. A cake was presented by the CWA and the children of the two Toodyay schools. The Children’s Dance was held in the evening in the Town Hall.
