All Welcome To Free Easter Festival

March 28, 2018 by Maggi Barnard

The Easter Festival this Saturday brings together different community groups and churches to thank the community of Forbes for their generosity over the last 12 months. This event will take place at Apex Park (near the aeroplane) starting at 10am.

The Easter Festival committee from Havannah House would like to invite everyone down to enjoy some ‘old school’ games such as three-legged races, sack races, fishing for eggs, thong toss, ring toss and tug-of-war.

This year there will also be a new junior obstacle course game for preschool age children. There will be plenty of prizes to be given away for those that take part in the games.

The day will have a free sausage sizzle, hot and cold drinks and will conclude with a 6,000 Easter egg hunt divided into three age groups.

The committee would like to thank Bunnings Forbes for getting on board this year for face painting.

There will be live music by Greg Prow. Also, there will be plenty of shade with the
two marquees.

The winners of the colouring in competition that was distributed to the local schools of Forbes, Bogan Gate and Eugowra will be announced on the day.
