‘Spooktastic’ event at Koah
HALLOWEEN will be the focus of “spooktastic event” at Koah Hall this Friday night.
The event will feature a “pumpkin-load” of entertainment including multi-instrumentalist indie-folk singer-songwriter Tessa Devine and Tullara.
The all-ages, family-friendly night will also showcase popular artists Pauly P, General Sherman and harmony trio, The Honey Joys.
Guests are encouraged to dress up in Halloween themed outfits with prizes for the best costumes.
There will be special spooky activities throughout the evening, including face painting and ghoulish games. Food and drinks will also be available.
Koah Hall Committee president Nicky McKillop said the night would be a “spooktastic event” with tickets priced to encourage families including a “monster mob” ticket.
“Koah Hall is an important community hub, not only for the Koah community but the Mareeba Shire, and this Halloween event is a fundraiser for the hall to ensure its facilities continue to meet the needs of its broader community,” she said.
“We are 100% community run with all the work done by volunteers. Koah Hall is Mareeba Shire’s only ‘last place of resort refuge’ and an important SES-supported place of shelter during cyclone or disaster events.
“We work hard to ensure that our facilities are accessible, responsive to community needs and of the highest quality possible. Fundraising is critical to ensure we can continue to do that.”
Nicky said funds raised from the Halloween event would be used to maintain the recently resurfaced tennis court and playground adjacent to the hall.
The court resurfacing and upgraded markings for tennis, basketball, netball and pickleball was made possible by a $35,000 grant from the Gambling Community Benefit Fund.
Koah’s Halloween night begins at 5pm with tickets available at the door or through the TryBooking link at https://www.trybooking.com/CWFUX
