Only a month earlier, the oval had been a lake during the floods.

Although working with short notice, the Mooroopna Kiwanis Club pressed ahead and conducted a scaled-down version of the carols night; the first in three years thanks to COVID-19 cancellations.

The weather smiled on the gathering, while local artists and choirs kept everyone entertained.

Singing with attitude: Henry, Rosielee and Alfred Dowdy, from Mooroopna, dressed up for the carols night.

Crowd: Hundreds turned out for Carols in the Park on Saturday evening.

On song: The choir from Mooroopna St Mary’s Primary School.

Singing: Former state Member for Shepparton Jeanette Powell jointly hosted the carols night and sang *White Christmas*.

Star quality: Dancers from the Goulburn Valley Academy of Ballet performed two songs to open the carols night.
