A truckload of snow is set to come pouring into Elliot Park in Nawton during the July school holidays.

The Western Community Centre will provide the snow as school holiday entertainment for all ages. Held on Friday, July 17, from 11am until 3pm, the annual Chill in the Park event promises all-day enjoyment for the community.

A charge of $2 to help cover some of the costs of the event will allow families to enjoy four hours of fun in the snow.

Event co-ordinator and youth development worker, Nathan Morgan said “it brings family together to round off the school holidays with a bit of fun”.

The event will provide a wide range of activities on the day including face painting, on-stage entertainment, a Disney Frozen colouring competition and a shape-o challenge.

There will be a mix of themes on the day – “something for the boys and girls”, Morgan said. Activities will feature Disney Frozen and a new release film Paper Planes, directed by Robert Connolly.

The centre encourages families to bring a mid-winter picnic. There will also be a range of food and hot drinks available to purchase.

The day would not be possible without the volunteers who give their time to help set up and make sure the event goes smoothly, and the assistance from sponsor, The Todd Foundation.
