Carols herald the Christmas season

-

THE 16th annual Toowoomba Hospice Christmas carols ushered in the Christmas season with the help of the city’s families.

About 250 people turned up to take part in the festivitie­s.

The Toowoomba Municipal Band and High Altitude Harmony led the audience in the carols.

Toowoomba Hospice administra­tion and fundraisin­g manager Mark Munro said the carols were a fabulous evening for everyone.

“The carols started off as a small thing for the families of the hospice’s clients,” Mr Munro said.

“The event has grown considerab­ly since it started 16 years ago.”

Visiting children also enjoyed a special visit from Santa.
