Kids’ Corner October 28, 2024

Around town this week?

This year, Bushman’s Rest Caravan Park at Lake Cullulleraine is set to host an exciting Halloween celebration with a meaningful twist. On Saturday, November 2nd, the park presents “HALLOWISH” Trick or Treating, a fundraising event for the local Mildura Branch of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Starting at 5:30 pm in the Camp Kitchen, families can collect their park maps before enjoying Trick or Treating from 6:00 to 7:00 pm. But the fun doesn’t stop there—afterward, there will be a spooky Haunted Disco in the hall from 7:00 to 9:00 pm, perfect for partygoers of all ages.

Make-A-Wish Foundation helps to bring hope and joy to children with critical illnesses. The foundation creates life-changing wishes, offering children more than just a special experience; the impact of these wishes extends far beyond the wish itself, uplifting spirits and providing emotional strength. By making dreams come true, the Make-A-Wish Foundation brings positivity and resilience to children and their families in their toughest times.

To join in on the spooky fun for a wonderful cause, head to the Bushman’s Rest Caravan Park Facebook page for more information on booking or registering a camp site, and all the enjoyment to be had.

Make sure to dress up in your most epic costumes!
