Fun day offers something for the whole family

THE Bellarine’s biggest Free Family Fun Day will
return to the Potato Shed this weekend.

With more than 8,000 attendees in 2016, the event has become one of the best children’s events held annually in the Geelong region.

The event on Sunday October 22 has something for families of all ages, including an animal farm, jumping castles, a cubby house photo booth, face painting, live performances and interactive music sessions.

It is a hub of fun activity throughout the day with an outdoor and indoor stage filled with an array of performances, a dedicated sports zone for those who have plenty of energy to burn and the ever-popular animal farm.

The Potato Shed’s favourite entertainers the Mik Maks are back again to bring music to the kid’s ears and have them up and dancing along with The Funky Mummies, Jays Dance School Hip Hop and Mini Maestros with Bumblebee.

New items on the program this year include the incredible talents of the Trash Puppets, who will hold puppet making workshops.

There will also be roving puppets moving through the crowds.

Children will be able to learn and make their own puppets to take home.

This year organisers anticipate even more people attending and enjoying the experience, a wonderful way to kick off Children’s Week on the Bellarine.

Gates open at the Potato Shed Family Fun Day at 11am and the event will finish at 3pm.

Entry via 41 Peninsula Drive, Drysdale and there is parking available on site.
