A Kingsland Christmas
Hi Neighbours!
I'm helping The Fringe District put together a free family event in The Kingsland Rail Plaza on Saturday 26 November 4-7pm.
We are installing a 10 metre Christmas Tree to bring some outdoor festive vibes to our community. We have Santa and his elves on site from 4-7pm taking free family photos, free face painting, cheeky elves, tuk tuk rides. Be entertained by Santas helpers; The Madeleines Trio, and singalong with Suzy Cato!
We also have a $2000 raffle (sourced from local businesses). Tickets $5, drawn at 645pm in the Rail Plaza - must be on site at prize draw to take it all home with you :)
We thought it would be great to have Santa outdoors this year - so come on down to the Rail Plaza!
Hope to see you all there :) Claire

I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?
