As we approach the final quarter of 2023, the Lions Club of Diggers Rest is beginning to organise its yearly Christmas Carols event, and is calling on the community for assistance.
The event will be held at the Diggers Rest Primary School (DSPS) on Thursday, December 7. From 5pm the event will be packed with a range of activities including face painting, balloon art, an animal farm, a market and refreshment stalls, all manner of music performances and a visit from Mr and Mrs Claus.
Lions Club of Diggers Rest president Katherine Skinner said the group has about 10 members to organise the event, and is expecting between 2000 and 3000 guests on the night.
“We would like to invite anyone from the community who has time and/or skills to help us organise this year’s event,” she said.
“They may wish to support us with traffic management planning, permit applications, risk management plans, organising market stalls, decorating, designing advertising flyers or helping to set up and/or pack up on the night.
“We also need people to act as roving advisors on the night, directing people to facilities, medical support, etc.”
Ms Skinner said the event will include Carols performed by DSPS students and professional singer Bec Jamieson, who will emcee the event, but they’re happy to hear from other performers.
“This is a community celebration, we invite all performers to sing and/or dance songs of celebration,” she said.
“Most choose Christmas [performances, but] there are performances that include Welcome to Country and other multi-cultural acts… we always invite all educational, community and user groups from Diggers Rest to produce acts too.”
