EVERYONE is welcome at the Picnic in the Park at Barrack Reserve on Australia Day.<\/p>\n
Free ice cream, a petting zoo and musical entertainment are just some of what\u2019s on offer.<\/p>\n
Heathcote RSL sub branch secretary Miles Humphrey said the best thing about the event was the family atmosphere.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn a hot day, but in the cool shade of Barrack Reserve, all sections of the community come together to enjoy a relaxing get-together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome people bring their own picnic spread and are entertained by our musicians, while others enjoy the petting zoo.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s face painting this year too,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd all partake in the free sausage sizzle and delicious ice cream.<\/p>\n
\u201cOverall, while some come and stay for an hour or so, or are just passing through, many find the atmosphere so inviting they stay for the duration.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe day reminds us all that despite the trivialities of everyday life, we really do live in the best country on earth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Picnic in the Park is organised by the Heathcote RSL sub branch and runs from 10 am to 2 pm on Thursday, 26 January at Barrack Reserve, High Steet, Heathcote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
