Toowoomba Hospice will be holding its Bi-annual ‘Car Park’ Sale on Saturday 11th August, 6.30 am till 11am in the main car park at the Hospice, corner of 5th Avenue and O’Quinn St Harristown

Organiser Mr. Norm Jenner said the Hospice relies heavily on the community spirit to raise the much needed funds to serve our local community I am inviting the community to come on Saturday and make a donation towards items that we have been given to sell,  plus our wonderful team of volunteers from St Stephens will be there on hand to help as always they do a fantastic job”.

The Lions Club of Wilsonton will be cooking breakfast from 7.30 am. At 8am there will be an auction of interesting and unusual items. What isn’t sold by 11am will be donated to Life Line to sell in their shops. I am more than happy to let another charity have what is left so they too can benefit” said Mr. Jenner

Any items to be donated can be dropped off to the hospice administration during office hours by Friday morning (10th August), however if you have large items they need to be dropped off on Saturday morning of the car park sale (Saturday 11th August) between 5.30am and 7am as storage is very limited.

Mr. Jenner wanted to reassure all those who support the car park sale that all the money stays here The Hospice is a local charity and I am very proud to say that the money raised locally stays locally, and in turn  supports local businesses, companies and individuals on the Downs”

Toowoomba audiences are in for a treat when Australia’s only official Beatles tribute band, The Fab Four, hits the Empire Theatre on Saturday 21 July at 8pm, proudly presented by Toowoomba’s Palm Lake Resort.

The Fab Four will headline The Australian Beatles Experience, and will be joined on stage by The Toowoomba Concert Orchestra and Friends. The Australian Beatles Experience is the complete Beatles story, from the early years during the 1964 World Tour, through to the Magical Mystery Tour period.

With the title of Australia’s only official Beatles tribute band, The Fab Four will transport audiences back in time to relive the excitement of an authentic Beatles concert. Featuring the much-loved classic songs She Loves You, I Want to Hold Your Hand, Can’t Buy Me Love, Eleanor Rigby and more, this musical event promises to be a trip down memory-lane for diehard fans and an unforgettable night for first-timers.

As well as the Classical Mystery Tour featuring The Toowoomba Concert Orchestra, the evening will also include a re-enactment of The Beatles Australian Concert of 1964.  The Fab Four has perfected The Australian Beatles Experience, which includes lavish costumes and impressive musical compositions created on authentic Beatles instruments.
