“These programs continue to be a highlight for our community, providing wonderful opportunities for kids to learn, play, and create lifelong memories,” Cr Friend said.

“A huge thank you to the amazing organisations, individuals, and businesses who help make these events a reality for local youth each holiday season.

“From scavenger hunts, a movie at the park, an Easter Wonderland event, to a week-long workshop with the Yeppoon Choral Society learning the art of performing, and even a valuable training courses for young people – there is plenty on offer as part of this year’s program.
