Anglicare SQ Kilcoy Community Services is holding a Free multicultural event on the 25th of October 2022 in celebration of Seniors month.  The event is a traditional Pilipino Festival called Mass Kara.  Mass Kara festival is celebrated to bring back the smiles on people’s faces.  Celebrated in the Philippines the Mass Kara Festival was created to lift the spirits of the people and is a declaration that they will survive challenges that are faced and that smiles will return.  Celebrations include a Parade of smiling masks, dancing and music, culturally diverse range of food stalls and video presentations. The event is happening on the grassed area outside of Kilcoy Explore Centre, Kilcoy Yowie Park from 10.00am to 2.00pm. Parade at 10.00am – See you all there!

Kilcoy Tennis Club is holding its Club’s Junior and Senior Championships on Sunday 13th November 2022.  A nomination sheet will be on the club house notice board.

Aussie drivers will soon start seeing an “R plate” on some cars which are designed to help anxious drivers return to the road with ease after a traumatic experience or an extended absence.  The R plates — or Return plates — are a third-party initiative and are not an official item sanctioned by state road authorities like Learners or Provisional driver plates.  It’s similar to a baby-on-board sign, according to reports, and aims to encourage other road users to have more empathy for nervous drivers.
