Carnival for Xmas

With stores galore, children shows, competitions and half price haircuts organisers of Waiouru' s first ever family Christmas carnival will be held on Saturday 25 November at the Waiouru Community Centre.

The idea for the Christmas carnival is a brain child of mayor Garrick Workman, who asked the Waiouru business community to

support the carnival venture. The organisers Sue Bradley, Colin Turner and Captain Peter Pitts have been overwhelmed with the response to date not only "from businesses but from the Waiouru Camp and are working long hours in preparation for a successful weekend. Everyone in the working committee hopes that the Christmas carnival will become an annual event with the inclusion of a street parade. However this will be considered after this weekend's carnival. Children should be happy with the many attractions taking place on Saturday from a Christmas tree decorat-

ing competition in the morning to movies in the afternoon and, throughout the day, Santa giving away

gifts. For the parents there will be a variety of stalls to cater foi everyone's taste. Fund raising will also be a feature on the day with the selling oi tickets for a Christmas hamper and a stamp collection with the proceeds going towards Turnpage5
