The Mitchell Student Guild at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst will host the annual Kids Day Out on Saturday 24 September. The co-ordinator of this year’s Kids Day Out at CSU, Miss Alyce Woods, said, “The event will be bigger and better, and all proceeds will go to the Bathurst Base Hospital Paediatric Ward, and the local Riding for the Disabled organisation. Children can meet Dora the Explorer, and the Toy Story movie characters Buzz and Woody, and see and do much more, so we encourage parents to bring their little ones for a memorable day out.” The event will also feature kids craft making stalls, an animal petting zoo, jumping castles, barbeque and food stalls, candy and show bags, sack, three-legged, and egg-and-spoon races, a stage with various local performers, raffles, colouring competitions, roving performers, face painting, an ambulance, a fire truck and a police car.
