The first McGazza Fest went down last weekend in Queenstown. Kelly’s extended family from around the world turned up and kicked things off with a 300 strong mega train from the top of skyline.  Saturday arvo saw a memorial plaque unveiled on top of Queenstown hill, followed by an evening at the new jumps at the top of the Dream Track. It turned into an epic jam session with a lot of people getting to hit the new booters for the first time and throw down in honour of the big man.
