Gigs
& Interests By Mel Bowman-Finn
AS it gets balmier, we venture out so much more, and it’s great to see we have plenty planned each week across the region. I hope you all enjoyed our last edition where events like the Cassowary Festival, the Tully Flower Show and Mission Arts Awards night, were well attended. Another great pleasure of publishing a gig guide is making it possible to inform residents when a local fundraiser is taking place. Like the one for Loud Shirt Day, where some locals are hosting an event at the Mt Tyson Hotel (AKA Bottom Pub), making
an effort to raise some funds for Eli Wardell’s favourite cause, Hear and Say. Providing some entertainment on Friday October 4 starring local band, Mates Rates, to keep efforts joyful and light hearted and to get LOUD in the name of day. Proceeds from this event will go to the overall fundraising for Eli, 23 years old. Eli was born with Down Syndrome and diagnosed with profound hearing loss at nine months old. Eli is again this year taking part getting the whole town involved in Hear and Say’s annual fundraiser, Loud
Shirt Day on Friday, October 18th. Wear your shirt loud and donate where you can. If you and your friends or group are hosting any kind of fundraiser be sure to let me know via news@ccin.com.au Check out this month’s centre page gig guide and make your own plans to fill the school holidays with some social family fun.

Tully State School Spring Fair
“We Are Australian”
BECAUSE we are a rural area one of the things, I like to do with the kids is go to different events held by all the local schools. The upcoming Tully State School Spring Fair looks like another with plenty to offer for the family. The day starts at 4:00pm and goes into the evening where they are boasting a jumping castle, Haunted House and Laser Tag, along with some footy toss and games for all. There will be a lolly drop from the local Fire Brigade, glow sticks, face painting and hair braiding. While of course there is also the opportunity to browse the stalls, a mega raffle and a cent sale for some interactive fun. You can consider your dinner sorted with a BBQ and canteen. A bar will be open for adults. As well as a cake stall, donut stand and a chocolate stall to entice us with the carnival feel of dessert delights. With class performances presented by the students for all to enjoy, the great part is the family has a good time whilst the funds go to support the school, which is a such a bonus when cruising out for some entertainment. Let’s also say a big thank you to the local businesses who have shown support for their cent sale; go and see the generosity for yourself and get your tickets to win some super local prizes. Saturday 26th October 4:00pm 21 Mars Street, Tully

Sundance Aerial Silks Performance 2019 – Saturday October 5
THE Sundance Studio is hosting their second annual aerial silks performance at the Tully Gymnasium, on the last Saturday of the holidays. This event aims to expand your imagination with gymnastic talent, aerial silk action, digital mapping and more surprises. “I hope it will be a visual feast for all the senses,” says Danielle Wilson – Producer. This is a locally-grown visual performance with a grass roots edge where all the sets will be hand drawn, the routines hand crafted, costumes designed by performers – everyone is working overtime and back to front. For a night of fun for the whole family, exposing yourselves to an array of
artforms found locally, this event is a trip down the rabbit hole of residents with a cause to entertain. Come and meet Alice, The Mad Hatter, The Red Queen, White Rabbit and more. In the air and in your hearts! This is a performance for the mind that bends and is suitable for all ages.
