Cr Pickels is encouraging everyone who has a connection to Middlemount to come and party it up.
"So many of you have helped make Middlemount the powerhouse it is today.
"Come and share your stories, have a laugh and say thank you to the town that made us a community.
"Milestones like a 40th don't happen very often and definitely can't come together without a lot of work and support.
"We would like to acknowledge the Middlemount Community School P&C and the vast number of volunteers, business and community supporters that have made this well-deserved celebration the must-be at event."
