Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
What began as a mountain to climb at the start of this campaign has blossomed and grown with each passing week. Now, as we near the finish line, six weeks of fun, laughter, community, culture, and artistry are drawing to a close.
This past weekend we celebrated the NQIB Country Cups Challenge Qualifier and the Hinchinbrook Cup Raceday, which once again proved to be a standout event on our festival calendar. Trackside Tables sold out quicker than you can say “ready, set, go!” and the crowd braved the heat, turning up in numbers that exceeded even our biggest Race Meets of recent times.
From the energy at the track to JD Smith performing Unchained Melodies for an appreciative audience at the Hinchinbrook Shire Hall, the weekend delivered something special for everyone.
As we move further into November and closer to Christmas, we begin to see our community Christmas festivities taking shape. This year brings a brand new event thanks to the Hinchinbrook Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Tourism, together with various Halifax Community Groups. Almost Christmas! A Community Celebration will bring the communities of Halifax and surrounding areas together as they ring in the festive season.
This celebration will be held on November 22nd at the Halifax Community Hall in Argaet Street, across from the Halifax Cemetery, from 8:00am to 1:00pm. The morning will include Market Stalls, Christmas Raffles, Food and Drinks, Entertainment, Christmas Photos, Kids Activities, and a range of Cultural Experiences. One of the most intriguing additions is the Human Library Performances. It is shaping up to be a family-friendly morning full of festive fun.
