Club Whitsunday was awash with colour as families came together to celebrate both Father’s Day and the 40th anniversary of Queensland Child Protection Week.
The free Colour Fun Run gave dads and their families a lively start to the special day, with participants invited to run, walk, skip or dance their way through the course while reinforcing the important message that protecting children is everybody’s responsibility.
The celebrations continued beyond the run, with bubble blowing, a foam cannon, face painting, live music, games, children’s crafts and a free sausage sizzle making it a memorable Father’s Day morning for the whole family.
Local groups and community leaders joined in the fun, with the Whitsunday Lions Club, Mayor Ry Collins and members of Amanda Camm MP’s team all there to support the message that keeping children safe is everyone’s responsibility, while also assisting in on the fun.
