Kumbia's 16th Annual Christmas Carnival will be held in and around Kumbia Hall on the Bunya Highway from 5:00pm until late this evening. Features of this year's event will include the town's traditional Festival of Christmas Trees and the hall itself will be decorated as part of the Kumbia Christmas Lights Competition. There'll also be face-painting; games and rides for children including a merry-go-round, jumping castle and other fun stalls; live musical entertainment; and the drawing of a raffle for a Giant Christmas Hamper (valued at over $250!) as well as lots of quick ham and chook raffles during the evening. A BBQ will also be operating and special Santa burgers, Santa's Helper Burgers and Santa's Little Helper burgers will be available at very reasonable prices. Santa himself will be paying a visit to give away sample bags to children up to Year 7 at around 7:00pm. There'll also be lots of market stalls and beautiful Christmas displays right around the town too.
