Preparing for Christmas in the Park

LEE Watts, manager of the Scone Neighbourhood Resource Centre is excited that Christmas in the park will return with all its favourites from 5pm, Saturday, December 7 at White Park, Scone.

“The community are invited to celebrate Christmas, enjoy live music provided by Hamish Guiana and the Oh’s, visit the market stalls, get a photo with Santa, have your face painted or grab a tattoo, take a ticket in the chocolate wheel and maybe win a ham, then sit back and watch an extraordinary display of fireworks,” said Mrs Watts. 

“Children will have unlimited access to carnival rides, air brush tattoos and face painting with the purchase of a $5 wrist band,” she said.

“Raffles are available with tickets on sale at the Neighbourhood centre prior to the event. You could win a garden trolley with a $1,000 worth of toys donated by Scone Sports Store or a trolley of Christmas Cheer thanks to BWS, Celarbrations and Ice Box Liquor.

“Don’t miss our community Christmas event, bring a blanket or chair, purchase a meal from the BBQ or one of the many other food outlets and enjoy the event, we look forward to seeing you there,” she said. 

“Staff and volunteer love this time of the year but work extremely hard to bring such a large event together. You can support the Neighbourhood Centre by making a donation on entry with all funds going back to the Centre,” Lee Watts said.
