Family Fun Success

An entirely free family fun day event saw massive crowds turn out at Mullers Lagoon in Bowen last weekend, each of whom enjoyed a scorching day of weather backed by entertainment and games.

Bowen Neighbourhood Centre and Cooinda’s Family Fun Day packed the parklands on Saturday, kicking the school holidays into gear for kids and families alike.

There was plenty of entertainment from a petting zoo to sensory tables, amusement rides to face painting, and games and activities galore kept the children entertained from morning to midday.

A colour run ended the days celebrations, with kids cruising around the park and being painted with colour, and Bowen Fire Service turning on their water jets to cool off the kids in the 30-degree weather.

Aside from the entertainment, there were plenty of local organisations who hosted stalls highlighting their services and contributions to the local community: Bowen Flexi Care, Bowen Zonta Club, Bowen PCYC, Girudala, and many more.

Bowen Neighbourhood Centre Coordinator, Stephanie Cora said she couldn’t thank the services enough for their support, as well as Abbot Point Operations and the Queensland Government for their funding.
