The village celebrated its annual Community Christmas Party last night, with plenty of festive fun and a visit from the big man in red and white.

“This is the second year we have done this and this year was even bigger than the last,” Moonbi Public School’s Kristin Reilly said.

“This Christmas party is about bringing the Moonbi community together.

“We had two jumping castles, one of which was a water slide.

“There was lots of delicious food, including a barbecue, popcorn and fairy floss.

“Students enjoyed getting their face painted and using the big bubble wands.

“We even had a special visit from Santa!

“It was a great community event and lots of fun was had by all.”
