MARK THIS on your diary now, Friday, October 25 will see the annual Coolum State School’s Coolum Carnival kicking off at 3.30 pm and for anyone new to the area this is THE carnival to be at each year.
The entire school community is getting ready with the curtains ready to lift on the best ‘Coolum Carnival’ ever staged!
This annual fundraiser for Coolum State School will be held on the grounds of the school and will run from 3.30 pm until fireworks at 8.30 pm.
Fast rides, cute farm animals, fairground attractions, tasty food, and entertainment will bring the community together.
Taking centre stage will be the ever-popular piglet racing track surrounded by sideshow games, competitions of skill and luck for the young and young-at-heart and all other carnival activities.
Principal Shannyn Taylor is thrilled to see the school and wider community get behind this fundraiser.
“This is an enduring social event for the town. Ex-students come back in droves, friends catch up, kids have a ball, and neighbours and business people get together.
“I’m looking forward to the best fireworks, the biggest rides and you’ll find some new attractions like Laser Tag and a special effects Photobooth among the favourites,” Principal Taylor said.
Popular with families are the pony rides, mini golf, pedal karts and Strike Bowling, having a flutter at the silent auction and taking home a show bag.
This year proceeds from the Carnival will enhance playground spaces at Coolum State School.
“We really appreciate the sponsors and business people who are helping to make Coolum Carnival a success, which in turn benefits all our students.”
