The food trucks and kids activities were a hit — the kids especially loved the Twisted Science bubbles station, the Billabong Ranch petting zoo and the Make a Face facepainting.
All smiles: Phill and Gabrielle Morris having fun making bubbles.
The real highlight of the night was the carols, presented by various members of Echuca Moama churches.
Fun night: Rhys and Matilda Leslie enjoying the free fairy floss.
Members of New Life Baptist Church also dressed up to form a live Nativity Procession to kick the carols off.
Superb: Georgia Armstrong and Samuel Kelly wow the crowd with their rendition of The Prayer.
Guest artists from Moama Anglican Grammar graced the stage and star soloist, Georgia Armstrong from St Joseph’s College, also shone brightly.
Kept busy: New Life Volunteers hard at work cooking the free barbecue, including bread generously donated by Moama Bakery.
Georgia and Samuel Kelly also sang a beautiful rendition of The Prayer which had the crowd in raptures.
