On Wednesday 24 July, the Burdekin Early Childhood Network presented the highly anticipated Ready, Set, Go expo at Ayr State School. The colourful event stands as a celebrated under 5s expo to showcase the amazing services, organisations, and businesses available in the Burdekin region for families with young children.
A vibrantly successful day, 18 stalls were set up across Ayr State School’s oval including childcare centres, primary schools, playgroups, support services, a dance school, and the Burdekin Library.
Fuelling attendees and stallholders with a selection of delicious bites to eat and caffeine were local food vendors, Cat’s Coffee and Ice Cream Smiles, as well as a sausage sizzle run by the Lions Club.
Both QFES and QPS attended the event, and everyone enjoyed an entertaining and interactive performance from Rhythm Edge Dance Studio as well as a fantastic Storytime session.
Excitingly, Tim McKean from Townsville City Libraries’ early childhood sector ran the event, and the Burdekin Shire Council’s Children’s Services Library Officer, Kate Burke explained the event was highly successful, and all those who attended benefited greatly.
“The feedback was overwhelmingly positive from attendees, and they said their children had lots of fun, and they got valuable information from the stalls,” shared Kate.
