Christmas cheer in Meeniyan

THE Meeniyan and Dumbalk United Football Club held its annual Christmas party at the Meeniyan Recreation Reserve on Friday evening.

The event, which has been running for around seven years, attracted more than 200 people, including 120 children.

Children were well catered for with face painting, a jumping castle, balloons and Santa Claus.

The horse and cart rides and tractor hay rides were also popular on the night.

Football club president Andrew Mackie said the Christmas party is a great community event.

“We had a good number of people there. It was probably the biggest crowd we have had,” he said.

“A highlight of the evening was the Tarwin Valley Primary School choir, which performed for the first time. They were great.”
