The queue of eager children waiting for Karla Cameron, from Karla’s Carnival, stretched out the door

June 20, 2016

The Kingaroy Blue Light Disco celebrated its 20th birthday on Friday night … and more than 600 children turned up to enjoy the fun!

Kingaroy police officers were run off their feet amongst all the music, dancing and general mayhem.

The disco kicked off earlier than usual, with Rotary serving up a sausage sizzle in the Town Hall forecourt.

Inside, there were long queues at the canteen where the children were buying lollies and drinks.

There were also long queues at the photo booth, mechanical bull and face painting stalls.

Even veterans of the Blue Light Disco said they’d never seen anything like it.

Debbie Cox said she had been volunteering at the discos for 16 years.

When she first put up her hand, the committee was desperately short of members and as her children were coming along she agreed to help out.

These days, she has a grand-daughter on the dance floor!
