AMONG all the hype and commercialism of Christmas, Healesville families enjoyed a few hours respite at with Healesville Community Carols in Queen’s Park on Saturday, 17 December.
Comedian Dave O’Neil was guest MC with a fantastic line-up of artists, including Yarra Glen’s Bonnie Anderson, Levi McGrath, Exploded View and the Salvation Army Band, leading the crowd in a program of traditional hymns and popular Christmas songs.
A visit from Santa, assisted by Healesville CFA volunteers, was a highlight of the night for the kids and for families, just a chance to chill out and catch up with neighbours and friends made for another memorable carols night.
Healesville Community Carols was presented by the Salvation Army, Liberty Church and Yarra Valley Financial Services.
