Onslow put on a great show last Saturday night, when the Onslow Sports Club was transformed into a ‘Night on the Green’, new residents were welcomed and existing residents proudly showcased their town.
Onslow Living events are held a number of times throughout the year and aim to welcome new residents and highlight local community groups, businesses and organisations. It is a great reason for everyone to come together, meet new people and be part of the vibrant atmosphere of fun, food and live entertainment.
Refreshing juices were provided by the Onslow Kids Kitchen Garden as residents enjoyed viewing the variety of information on display and learning more about the products and services available in town.
V Swans hosted frisbee, hopscotch and cricket, Onslow Playgroup kept the littlies entertained with puzzles, craft and playdough and Onslow’s local Thai dancers put on a dazzling performance. Local duo Bryan and Pete entertained the crowd, while the Sports Club served an assortment of delicious tapas.
A number of fabulous door prizes were also up for grabs, including return flights to Perth thanks to the generous support of Virgin Australia, and crab pots filled to the brim with goodies, made possible through donations from a number of local businesses.
Shire President Kerry White said a ‘Night on the Green’ was an exciting way to encompass everything that Onslow has to offer in a format that was fun and interesting.
“Onslow is a great community with a number of new facilities that provide enhanced options for sport, recreation and social engagement,” said Cr White.
“Through our ‘Working Together for Onslow’ partnership with the Chevron-operated Wheatstone Project it is wonderful to host important events such as Onslow Living, which bring residents together and further cement our strong sense of community spirit.”
Chevron Australia Community Engagement Supervisor Erin Glancy said the Onslow Living events are a great initiative for the whole community.
“Local community organisations are always looking for more volunteers, and with more than 40 new Chevron families recently moved into town, it was a great opportunity for them to meet new people and learn all about the range of activities available in Onslow,” Erin said.
The Onslow Living events are part of the Shire’s ‘Working Together for Onslow’ partnership with the Chevron-operated Wheatstone Project, aimed at delivering initiatives that build community engagement and participation.
