Maidenwell’s annual Christmas celebrations are going to be a lot brighter this year, thanks to the support of a local business and two community groups.
Kidman Contracting, in conjunction with the Maidenwell Community Group and Maidenwell Music Mix Inc, have joined forces to “light up” the town.
“We plan to have the town alight before December 7 as this is the night when the local QCWA group hosts their annual Christmas Party for the children in the district,” Maidenwell Music Mix secretary Sharyn Hansen said.
“It will be a great social evening with a sausage sizzle and Santa will visit for sure.
“He always manages to have a gift for each of the Tanduringie State School students in attendance, and we owe a vote of thanks to the local CWA for continuing this tradition.
“It is always a wonderful festive event for the locals to catch up and relax before Christmas.
“The lighting display is seen as a worthwhile investment in the town as we can store all lights and decorations away for the year and bring them out again next year for a repeat performance!”
The QCWA’s annual Christmas Tree event – which has been celebrated for almost six decades – will be held from 6:00pm on December 7 in Maidenwell Hall.
There’ll be a barbecue from 6:00pm, Christmas carols from 7:00pm and a visit from Santa at 7:30pm.
Maidenwell residents have been asked to please bring along a plate to share.
