8 Carols coming to Cooloola Cove

A simple idea at a Cooloola Cove Residents and Friends meeting has come to fruition with the creation of the Cooloola Cove Community Christmas and Carols. A partnership between the Cooloola Cove Residents and Friends, Cooloola Wesleyan Methodist Church, Cooloola Cove Veterans and Community Hall and YAP has resulted in an afternoon of family fun that will have something for everyone.

A free jumping castle for the kids, big games to play, competitions with a Christmas theme and old fashioned fun, BBQ, cake and coffee, raffles, entertainment, craft, carol singing and a visit from Santa will be on offer.

Wanting to bring the Cooloola Cove community together, the Cooloola Cove Residents and Friends coordinated the activities with the anticipation it will become an annual event.

It’s free to attend, so come down to the hall beside Woolworths from 3pm Saturday, bring a chair/blanket, torch and singing voice to enjoy the carols from 6.30pm.
