Guests at this year’s Proston Christmas Carnival braved hot weather for a relaxed evening of fun at Railway Park last Saturday night.
Several hundred people poured into the park from late afternoon to enjoy a traditional celebration and an upbeat night out, meeting old friends and making new ones.
As usual, the Proston Show Society did a rip-roaring trade supplying freshly cooked burgers and sausage sandwiches to hungry carnival-goers.
Adults could also browse other market and food stalls or enjoy live music from The Stepping Stones.
Children were able to amuse themselves on a giant climbing wall, courtesy of the Proston Scouts.
And when Santa arrived soon after sundown, children could also get free ice-creams and sweets from the jolly gentleman, who was assisted by helpers from the Proston Men’s Shed.
New Golden Spurs Hotel licensees Di and Andy Grant took the opportunity of the Christmas Carnival to get out and meet the local residents.
The Proston and District Heritage Association, who were manning a stand serving fruit salads and other desserts, were happy to discuss their plans to set up museum in one of Proston Village’s recently acquired shops next year.
Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington and her husband Jason said they were very impressed with the obvious effort the community had put into the Christmas carnival.
Mrs Frecklington congratulated the Carnival’s organisers on a really great night and said she shared everyone’s wish for a wet Christmas and an end to the drought.
Deputy Mayor Kathy Duff, carrying a portable microphone, acted as compere on the night.
