Baby and Children’s Expo

Posted on 14 May 2013 by Big Chook

A baby and children’s expo will be held in Innisfail on Saturday May 18th to bring market stalls, children’s activities and related regional services under one roof for families.

The Cassowary Coast Baby & Children’s Expo – run by the Cassowary Coast Regional Council and its Cassowary Coast Family Day Care Scheme – will be held from 9am to 12pm in the Innisfail Shire Hall.

Council’s Cassowary Coast Family Day Care educational leader Tanya Holliday said the expo would be “fun for all the family” with face-painting and activity stalls to amuse the children while parents shopped and spoke with service providers.

“Stalls are being run by local childcare centres and children’s clothes and toy suppliers, and this year we have new stall holders offering things like personalised naming certificates and information about how to make and wear baby slings.”

For more information about the Cassowary Coast Baby and Children’s Expo, or to book a stall site, ring Cassowary Coast Regional Council’s Community Services department on 4030 2285.
