    Bulldogs treasurer Angie Peterkin, who organised the day, said the response from the Kurri community and Lakes United fans to wear their beanies had been fantastic, The Maitland Mercury reports.

   The official count was 429 people, but a lot of people slipped by our counters so it could have been closer to 500.
