READ NOWMayor Carol Adams, a Lolly Run volunteer, said the Lolly Run had become Kwinana’s most loved Christmas tradition.
“Every Christmas morning we see groups of volunteers ride their colourfully decorated sleighs, trucks and utes through the streets – delivering lollies and festive cheer to children and families,” she said.
“The Lolly Run is a unique and proud tradition in Kwinana and a showcase of the rich community spirit our City is known for.
“It is also great to see the local Kwinana police getting involved again this year by riding along with a few of the sleighs.”
The first Kwinana Lolly Run took place in 1954, run by resident Alf Lydon and a community organisation called Toc H.
Today, the Rotary Club of Kwinana, City of Kwinana and several groups of volunteers, including the Mandogalup and Kwinana South Bushfire Brigades, co-ordinate the run.
