December 5, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christmas spirit burst out in Wondai on Wednesday evening with the town’s annual Christmas Carols in Coronation Park.<\/p>\n

The event was organised by Elaine Madill and the volunteers from the Wondai Art Gallery, who are also responsible for organising Wondai’s monthly markets.<\/p>\n

The Wondai CWA and Community Choir joined with the Wondai Town & District Band to perform carols in the Percy Iszlaub soundshell.<\/p>\n

Wondai Lions served up a free sausage sizzle and Mother Kate’s Early Learning Centre offered free face-painting for the young and young at heart.<\/p>\n

The event received funding from the South Burnett Regional Council.<\/p>\n

The next major Christmas event in Wondai will be the annual Community Christmas Carnival which this year will be held from 5:00pm on December 21 (not Christmas Eve)\u00a0 at the Wondai Showgrounds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019ll be face-painting and kids\u2019 activities; food and market stalls; a jumping castle, lucky dips and ham wheels. Santa is scheduled to arrive at 7:30pm!<\/p>\n

All proceeds will go towards the 2025 Wondai Show.<\/p>\n
