The Easter colouring-in competition, organised by Bowen Tourism and Business, was a huge success, drawing over 150 entries from local schoolchildren. Kids from Merinda State School, Bowen State School, Queens Beach School, and St Mary’s Catholic School were invited to colour a picture of Kenny the Mango Mascot surrounded by Easter eggs.
Cindy Tonks, who coordinated the event, said the competition was all about bringing the community together and offering a fun, creative activity for local children.
The entries, which were judged by Bowen Tourism and Business volunteers, are now proudly displayed at the Bowen Visitor Information Centre, located next to the iconic Big Mango.
Leanne Abernethy, Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, highlighted the excitement surrounding the competition, noting that with school holidays in full swing, the Visitor Information Centre has been bustling with families from across Queensland and interstate.
She mentioned that many visitors have been stopping to admire the colourful artwork on display.
While the competition has concluded, the Visitor Information Centre still has copies of the Kenny the Mango mascot for any kids who’d like to create their own version of the artwork. Simply ask at the Centre for a copy!
The overwhelming response to the competition is a testament to the creativity and community spirit of Bowen’s young residents.
