It was a great turn out for the Carols by Candlelight (and glow sticks) at the Mullumbimby Showground last Sunday.
‘We had about 400 people bring their blankets and something to eat and enjoy the evening,’ said Mullumbimby Chamber of Commerce president Jenelle Stanford.
‘It was a really beautiful feel and Coolamon Villa aged care brought everyone down on a bus to enjoy the evening of carols.’
With the assistance of NSW Fire and Rescue Father Christmas was able to make an appearance listening to all the children’s wish lists. Of course he didn’t just take time to talk to the children he also made sure that everyone from Coolamon Villa aged care got their wish lists in as well.
‘The Mullumbimby Primary School did a great job with the sausage sizzle and sold out twice, ‘ said Ms Stanford.
‘We would also like to thank the Showground and Showground Trust who put so much effort into ensuring he show ground looked so beautiful.’

Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.

I guess we have to thank Hollywood for the enduring myth that a black-clad squad of elite 'blokes', preferably with cool helicopters, from the capital are needed to crack down on really serious crime in hick parts of the country like Mullumbimby.
After several reports today from readers that there is a 'massive drug operation' and a 'gun and drug unit from Parramatta!', an intrepid Echonetdaily drudge wandered over to Barry Lomath Oval next to the skate park and netball courts in Mullum.
