The Murgon Police Charity Masquerade Ball - a black tie event - will be held at the South Burnett PCYC at 40 Macalister Street, Murgon from 7:00pm tonight. The ball is a fundraiser for Byte Nites, a joint initiative by police and the MBDA to provide free Saturday night entertainment for local children to help reduce youth crime in the district - a community-led initiative that has been producing positive results for many months. Guests will get to enjoy a great two course meal and finger foods; entertainment from Alex The Frenchman, Louise Winton and a DJ; plus auctions, raffles and prizes. Tickets are $65 per person or $390 for a table of six and can be obtained from Murgon Police Station. You can also read more about this event on our website.

Today's markets will feature stallholders selling fresh fruit and vegetables, arts and crafts, useful knick-knacks and clothing. There'll also be live entertainment; lots and lots of other stalls selling great gifts and goodies; and special hand-made treasures from local artisans available from the Gallery's new "Studio" building just a short stroll across the park. The BBQs will also be firing up from 6:45am to dish out hearty breakfasts for early bargain hunters. New stallholders are always very welcome (stall fees range from $10 with power and water available, if needed) and you can obtain more details by phoning Joan Spicer on 0456-999-928.
Byte Nite - Murgon
The South Burnett PCYC will be hosting a Byte Nite from 7:00pm to around 11:00pm tonight for Murgon and Cherbourg youngsters at Murgon's Jubilee Swimming Pool in Gore Street (a new venue for tonight because the Police Charity Masquerade Ball is running at the PCYC) Children can play a range of fun and entertaining games and pursue other amusements for free during the course of the night, as well as get a free meal and a ride home afterwards if they need one, all under the supervision of caring local volunteers. Byte Nite is an initiative of the PCYC and Murgon Business and Development Association to tackle youth crime in the district by giving youngsters something to do on a Saturday night, and anyone who'd like to volunteer to help this community-driven initiative in any way should contact Sgt Rene Bond at the PCYC on (07) 4168-1889 for more information.
