Community picks up good VIBES

Lucy JarvisNorth Coast Times

The August 15 event for primary school children will be at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre in Two Rocks.

Association youth co-ordinator Virginia Dziegielewski said the "VIBE" was 2015's answer to the old Blue Light Disco.

"We found a big hole in kids" entertainment events here in Two Rocks and Yanchep and really wanted to provide something that was local and fun for kids to do," Mrs Dziegielewski said.

"The first VIBE Night was held in June for 12 to 17-year-olds and was a huge success.

"The biggest drawcard was that parents didn't have to get in their cars and travel for 30 minutes to take their kids somewhere fun. We really want the kids to have a blast and remember these events forever.

"There will be a jumping castle, a hair-spray station and much more."

President Ron Arnold said as a result of the positive feedback received from the community, a subsequent "Lil Vibe" and "J-Vibe" (Junior Vibe) had been organised for August 15 for children from Kindy to Year 6 with three age group sessions.

"We've got the whole community behind us on these events, with local businesses donating prizes and gifts for show bags with the founding financial support from McDonald's Yanchep kick starting the youth program," he said.

Funds raised through food and drinks sold at the event will be donated to local primary schools. Tickets are $5 each.

The first session will be the Lil Vibe for kindy and pre-primary children from 3.30pm to 4.45pm.

The second session is the J-VIBE for Years 1 to 3 from 5pm to 6.15pm and the third session for Years 4 to 6 is from 6.30pm to 7.45pm.

The next VIBE night for teenagers will be on September 26.
