Fun day on the river

After its initial success last year, Les and Heather Hall are again, on 22nd October, opening up their beautiful riverside property Heatherview at Kybong to host fun day on the river event as the first part of the Mary River Festival.

Starting at 1pm, with a gold coin entry, the whole family can be kept entertained and occupied with activities which include swimming, canoeing, rock-skipping, games, food, live music, dancing, evening performances with a solar-powered laser show, bonfire and camping.

It is best if you can plan for a day and evening to make the most of the entertainment on offer. No need to think about dinner, with snacks available all day including wood fire pizza, sausage sandwiches, cakes tea and coffee. The barbeque will get going at approximately at 6pm, followed by music by the Tapper Girls and the Homestead Band.

It will be amazing to see the solar-powered laser show at 9pm as it lights up the banks of the Mary River and then sit around the campfire. Les is offering overnight camping for free where you can wake up to the sounds of the Mary River, and co-organizer Adrienne McVerry guarantees there will be a breakfast available in the morning.
