Fun-filled festival so unforgettable

By Kaelan Maxwell, Year 4, St Rita’s School Babinda

FINALLY, the Babinda Harvest Festival had come around again with all the rides to go on and toys to buy.

Firstly, we had a parade from the golf course into town and back.

October 7 was a hot and humid day, so to walk all that way was a lot of work for everyone.

The theme this year was musical mayhem, so our school went as the Yellow Submarine.

The teachers dressed up as The Beatles and the children dressed up as beetles.

We walked proudly through the town. After the parade we went to the showgrounds.

I felt excited because there were bouncy castles and laser tag, a tall climbing wall, stalls with toys to buy, food stalls and the Harvest Princesses.

I saw a helicopter flying over as it was time for the lolly drop.

I ran quickly to collect lollies that had fallen from the helicopter.

I felt excited that I had some lollies.

Sadly one of my friends did not get any lollies at all.

The Batman Castle looked interesting, so I had a turn on it and it was a lot of fun.

Then I went to laser tag and I saw some friends.

My team won the laser tag game.

I bought a sling shot, a laser and a scary mask from a toy stall.

At night, the Harvest Festival Queen for 2017 was crowned from all the princesses.

Finally, the fireworks went off late at night.

They were so colourful and were the best fireworks I had ever seen.

This year’s Babinda Harvest Festival was the best one ever.
