Christmas Eve Fireworks Spectacular Show
Display location:Goondiwindi
City:Goondiwindi
Country:Australia
Date:Christmas Eve
Details: WHILE the Lions and helpers were working at Riddles Oval prior to the fireworks, Santa and his helpers distributed gifts to the residents of Kaloma and patients at the Hospital on Christmas Eve.
Father Christmas, his lovely assistants Isobella Anderson and Ainslie Bell, and the Lion’s Lion put a little Christmas cheer onto their faces as they patrolled the corridors seeking out those who had been good this year.
Once these visits were over, it was on to the oval where Santa and his crew distributed lollies to a huge crowd of children from his sleigh before the fireworks from Skyward Entertainment set the night alight with colour.
Wayne Banks from the Lions Club said there was a bigger crowd than usual at Riddles Oval this year.
“It was chock-a-block with people,” Wayne said.
Thirty-five members of the Lions Club, along with helpers from Rotary and Apex cooked almost 1200 steaks, 40kg of sausages, 40kg of Dagwood Dogs and 150kgs of chips.
The fact that all that was left over were a couple of trays of steak and a dozen bags of chips is a great indication of the size of the crowd.
“The Lions Club would like to thank the carollers for their efforts on the night.
The carollers were Rose Reeves-Sharpe, Stacey Otto, Eddie Campbell, Denis and Isis Nonan, Sam and Bonnie Jessen, and Leonardo Nonal, Terry Valmonte, Sherwin and Arnel with a special thanks to the boys from Weapon Head who looked after the sound equipment all night,” Wayne said.
THANKS Gundy! You have done yourself proud!
The Goondiwindi Lions Club would like to thank everyone who came to the Christmas Eve Fireworks Spectacular and especially for leaving the ovals and surrounding areas in such a clean and tidy condition.
Thank you all for your thoughtfulness.
The Lions Club members arrived back at 5a.m Christmas Day to clean up and were very impressed and appreciative of how clean the grounds were left after the record crowd that attended the celebrations the night before.
A great sight to see!
Also a big thank you to all the businesses and individuals who donated money towards the fireworks and to the many volunteers, our service clubs, Lions, Rotary and Apex, the Scout group, and also the parents and students from the High School Gallipoli Tour who helped on the night.
The success of the night was due to a lot of work from many different volunteers and we thank you all for a great family night in Goondiwindi.
Hope to see you all there again next year!
