Family Fun Night
WHEN: Friday 13 October, 5PM-11PM
WHERE: Ron Crowe Oval, West Wyalong
COST: Free
Join us on Friday 13 October for a picnic-style night of music, food and entertainment. Entry and entertainment are FREE and a number of specialty food and drink vans will be in attendance with a variety of cuisines for purchase that will ensure the whole family is happy - and full.
There is no shortage of entertainment with a number of carnival rides for the kids, roving stilt walkers, inflatables and games for the little ones and teens. There will also be an accessible space for people of all ages to chill out, including those with disability and sensory related needs and their carers.
And don't worry, we haven't forgotten the adults with live performances by Ben O'Kane and the Mighty Yak and one of regional NSW's first drone shows.
The drone show will run from 9PM until 9.30PM.
One of our own has been closely involved in the development of this fantastic drone production.
Bernie has written in his own words all about what it means to live, work and play in the Bland Shire. He talks about our proud history, the achievements of our present and our promising future.
Voiced by actress Sigrid Thornton, this one makes us love this place even more.
Resister for your chance to win exclusive access to a VIP area and a dinner/drink voucher valued at over $100.
