Chittering’s ‘bush fire ready’ theme free movie night was enjoyed by over 150 people on Friday 20 February. Perfect weather plus activities and yummy refreshments, followed by a very entertaining movie, “Planes: Fire and Rescue”, made for another successful community event.
Parents and kids put their crafty hats on and constructed a range of cardboard box emergency service vehicles to be used as seating during the movie. Gingin Fire & Rescue Service volunteers delighted the children with an interactive fire truck race ‘n’ rescue and Chittering Wildlife Carers shared some interesting facts about how
to help wildlife during a bush fire. The giant bubble blowing kept littlies and adults alike transfixed.
Since the Shire purchased the movie screen (through a successful funding application), it has been used on a number of occasions. Outdoor movies always attract a crowd and can be a great fundraiser, through requesting a gold coin donation on entry, selling food and offering low-expense activities…
If you’re interested in using the outdoor cinema package for a community event please contact Sally at the Shire. Don’t forget, through the Shire’s Community
Assistance Grants Scheme you could apply for financial support to assist with your community event. Applications close on Friday 18 March 2016.
