Oakey comes together for Christmas Community Day
Supported by many small and businesses in town, the second Oakey Christmas Community Day put on by the PCYC and assisted by local church groups was a smash hit.
Hundreds of people turned out for Oakey’s Christmas Community Day last Wednesday at the Oakey Skate Park.
Those involved were treated to an afternoon of fun, food-tasting and foraging for Christmas treasure in the park.
Thirteen packed Christmas hampers were handed out in an armband raffle.
A major highlight of
the event was the 3v3 basketball competition, which took place at the Oakey State School Hall and was graced by the presence of Daniel and the Mountaineers team from Toowoomba.
Competition took place across two categories, Under 12s, and Under 16s and featured teams from Dalby.
The day was a credit to all involved, and was made possible with the organisational skills of Police Citizens representative Katarina Medland, and colleagues from Toowoomba and Dalby, along with local church groups from various denominations.
Several groups supported the event including the
Oakey RSL, Post Office, Oakey Community Pharmacy, The Oakey Pharmacy, Oakey Newsagency, Great Country Pies Bakery, The Grand Hotel, Goondir Health Services, Oakey Bi-Rite, OMgosh and Engineering Hair.
