Fun day to raise funds for animal refuge
ANIMAL lovers are being invited to a car boot sale and screening of Garfield at the Mareeba Drive-In this Sunday 16 June, all to raise money for the Mareeba Animal Refuge.
The local refuge is in dire need of funding. Its kennels are filled to overcapacity with homeless cats and dogs, many of which require urgent vet care.
As well as the car boot sale and movie screening, local band “General Sherman” will also be performing for the crowd, as well as several activities for families to participate in.
Drive in manager Ann-Marie Donnelly said she was excited to welcome locals and visitors for an evening of fun, all while raising money for an important cause.
“We’ve hosted the refuge before and were waiting for a suitable movie to come out (to host the event,” she said.
“The new Garfield seems a good match. We’ve expanded the idea this year to include the afternoon of family fun and the car boot sale.
“Most activities will wrap up at 5pm so we can then set up for the movie.”
Activities will kick off from 2.30pm until 5pm, before the movie starts at 5.30pm. Tickets available at the gate.
