Mega Family Fun Day in Warwick Saturday, 26 May 2007

This day, sponsored by the Warwick Strategy Group Domestic & Family Violence Prevention, QLD Domestic & Family Prevention Service, & the Department of Communities, was a long time in the planning, about six months.  The purpose of the day was to celebrate healthy family life as part of raising awareness about the impact of domestic violence in our community.

The month leading up to the day was promoted heavily in the local Warwick Daily News, poster displays and any other method we could think of.  As a result of this combined effort I have to say the day was fun and well attended by hundreds of families.

The opening procession, led by our very elegant clowns, proceeded down Palmerin Street, the main street of Warwick, to Leslie Park.

Bette, one of the organising committee introduced the Mayor Ron Bellingham who gave the official opening speech.

This is my information stand.

One of the most popular attractions for the children was the Shrek Jumping Castle.  There was a line up most of the day.

 The Warwick community did themselves proud supporting the day and making it such a success.
