Parkes Que Club Open Gardens And Markets

September 19, 2024 By Roxane Manley

QUE members look forward to your company throughout the day at the Parkes Racecourse, and in the four open gardens, on Sun­day 29th September.

The Parkes Racecourse, Eugowra Road will be buzzing with activity from 9.30am, with over 25 stalls and live music from local artists. Don’t miss the fashion parade at 1pm presented by Parkes News and Gifts and of course the four beautiful open gardens.

Be sure to get a ticket in the fabulous raffle. First prize is a beau­tiful occasional table created and donated by local artist, Susan Maddison. Second prize is a garden trolley filled with goodies and third prize is a $50 gift voucher to Dirty Gloves Nursery.

Collect your wristband and directions from the Parkes Race­course from 9.30am on the day. Tickets prices are: wristbands and directions to the gardens (cash/card) $15, morning tea $5 and lunch $15.

The money raised from this event stays in our local community, with a focus on supporting hearing, speech, and wellbeing. This year Parkes Que Club have sponsored every eligible child to at­tend Life Education Van (Healthy Harold), as well as our usual donations to schools and pre-schools for hearing amplification systems; dignity and care packs for victims of domestic violence; books for newborn babies; Southern Cross art therapy program; trauma teddies for Ambulances; participation in Paint the Town REaD; school backpacks for children in need; and sponsoring the hearing and speech assessments for pre-school children who are ready to head off to ‘big school’. Donations are also given to Can Assist, Ronald McDonald House, Sprouts, Safe Haven and other charities to benefit our local communities.
