NEW this year to the Rotary Club of Maffra Mardi Gras is a free Kids Corner.
It will be on the grassed area behind Southern Rural Water, near the toilets, starting at 4pm and continuing until sunset.
There will be face painting and a petting zoo, where children can get up close to small animals. Also, large games like snakes and ladders, dominos, and the very popular mini-golf, will be free of charge thanks to sponsorship from Wellington Shire and several local traders. Also in this area will be a stall selling show bags. Other activities for children, not part of the free activities, include some small carnival rides in the closed off road area between IGA and the Post Office. There will also be street stalls selling craft items, including some for children, and food stalls.
Come along and watch the Float Parade starting at 6pm and listen to musical entertainment through until the presentation of the Mardi Gras winner, soon after the end of the parade.
The Maffra Mardi Gras returns on March 18, with the theme ‘The Circus!’
