Christmas barbecue at Empire Bay

Empire Bay's annual Christmas Eve barbecue will be held outside the Progress Hall in Gordon Rd.

Its Santa run on the back of a truck has been cancelled due to rising public liability costs.

Santa will be at the hall to hand out lollies to the children.

Small children up to seven years come first from 6.30pm on and bigger children can get their lollies from Santa from 7.30pm onwards.

There will be a sausage sizzle, rolls and hot dogs at $2 each and soft drinks at $1, cordial at 50 cents.

A representative of the association said that Gordon Rd, Boongala Rd, and Sorrento Rd were usually beautifully lit up for Christmas, the setting would be exciting for the children.
