A free Australia Day breakfast in Lara is welcoming the community to come together for some nice food and celebration.
The January 26 event will be hosted by the Lara Australia Day Committee from 8am to 11am at the Lara Sporting Club at 4 Mill Road.
The committee includes the efforts of members from the local Lions, Returned Services League, Rotary, Sporting Club, Country Fire Authority, and Lara Freemasons.
Lara Lions Club secretary Tom Gilfillan said he expected close to 400 people to attend the breakfast and looked forward to everyone coming together to have fun.
“It’s important to be able to bring people together to celebrate all the things that are good about Australia and it’s really about bringing people in the community together,” he said.
“It’s just about having a little bit of fun, and a free breakfast never hurts, so we’ll have egg and bacon sandwiches, sausages, cereal, fruits, and all that type of thing.
“We have lawn games for the kids, including egg and spoon races, thong throwing, temporary tattoos, Australian flags, and giveaways.”
The event will include a variety of food, entertainment and games to help bring the Lara community together.
The Australia Day breakfast is a free community event with no booking required, and Mr Gilfillan said everyone was welcome to attend.
