A family fun day out – especially for kids

Geelong council is inviting locals to its biggest children’s event of the year this Sunday – a Family Fun Day at Drysdale’s Potato Shed.
The fun-filled, free day includes live performances – by the Mik Maks and Theatre 3222 – face painting, an animal farm, a bungee run, crafts, and more.
City Hall general manager community life, Linda Quinn, said the day attracts thousands of children and families each year.
“There’s a host of exciting free activities and performances and we’re expecting another bumper crowd of around 7000 people this weekend,” Ms Quinn said.
“There’s something for children of all ages. It’s a fantastic day for families to come together and celebrate children and the important role they play in our community.
The event is part of Geelong council’s children’s week program, which runs from 22 October until Sunday 30 October.
“The City has one of the largest Children’s Week programs in Victoria with more than 50 events throughout our region,” Ms Quinn said.
“It’s also a great opportunity to create special memories with your children and let them enjoy everything that’s unique and special about childhood.“
