Come and enjoy Strathbogie Shire Council’s summer activities for youth
A series of activities will be on offer for Strathbogie Shire’s youth during mid to late January as part of Council’s summer program.
There is something for everyone’s interests with pool gatherings to cool off, mural painting sessions, free movies and more.
Strathbogie Shire Council Mayor Cr Laura Binks encouraged the Shire’s youth to look at the program to see what activities they’d like to participate in.
“There’s so much to enjoy in the jam-packed program and there truly is something for everyone to enjoy,” Cr Binks said.
“I am looking forward to seeing what our incredible young talents come up with during our canvas mural painting sessions in Euroa.
“There’s also fun on offer for our thrill-seekers with several events being held at our local skateparks and swimming pools.
“Or if you’d prefer to chill out in the air-conditioning and enjoy a free movie, we are screening the new Avatar – The Way of Water with a free drink and popcorn or ice cream at the Euroa Community Cinema.”
