THE LIONS Club of Bellingen’s annual fireworks night is on Saturday 9 August at the Bellingen Showground.
The fireworks festival first lit up the sky above Bellingen Park in 1989.
“[It was] such a blast it has continued ever since”, said Bellingen Lion Debbie Sense.
“It is a thank you to the community for their continued support of Bellingen Lions Club, a not-for-profit organisation, [and their] ongoing commitments to our club fundraising and projects.”
Bellingen Lions have recently supported the local hospital, with a major fundraiser supplying essential medical equipment.
“We support the local schools with annual donations, and other local projects including the Matthew Locke Charity Rugby Day, Youth Off The Streets, Children with Cancer; disaster relief, food for the homeless, a senior citizens annual lunch and the major Christmas raffle.”
On fireworks night the Lions canteen opens at 4.30pm, and Glowsticks are for sale.
Prizes donated for the monster raffle come from many local businesses.
Entertainment will include 2BBB broadcasting on-site, displays by the Rivers Dance studio, and fun activities for all ages.
Bellingen Fire Brigade and SES teams will be on-site for the safety of everyone.
Fireworks commence once it is dark, around 6.30pm.
All enquiries to Debbie Senseon 0432 147076.
