Paired with a lively atmosphere overflowing with community spirit, the Trebonne Action Group will offer a brilliant barbeque dinner of steaks and sausages for attendees to enjoy, with the community welcomed to bring their own refreshments and chairs or blankets to sit on whilst indulging in the festivities.
Since its establishment in 2007, the Trebonne Action Group has introduced many celebrated amenities and facilities in and around the area and hope to continue improving both the Trebonne region and the wider community for years to come, encouraging locals to contact trebonneactiongroup@gmail.com to become involved.
Councillor Pat Lynch invites the Hinchinbrook region to come together for the festive celebration, noting the arrival of both Santa and his helpers is an unmissable highlight of the evening.
“We usually welcome locals from Trebonne and the wider community to the event each year with the night set to continue on with fellowship,” shared Pat.
“This year parents are encouraged to bring a wrapped and named present along for Santa to give out personally to their kiddies from 6pm after he arrives in a specially marked little vehicle with his helpers.”
With the silly season in full swing, and the school year done and dusted from 3pm Friday 13 December, there’s no better time to embrace Christmas cheer!
