Eumundi Christmas in July Fundraiser Supports Our Farmers

The Eumundi & District Historical Association together with the Original Eumundi Markets are hosting Christmas in July on Friday 26th July at the newly refurbished School of Arts in Eumundi as a fundraiser to support farmers through Rural Aid.

“It is great to be able to celebrate Christmas twice a year and at the same time help support a worthy cause.  We have a lot to celebrate this year with the completion of the three-year long refurbishment of the School of Arts.  The building inside and out looks amazing and recently won two Sunshine Coast Design Awards for the renovated bathrooms,” said President, Donata Page. 

“The Christmas in July activity will also support our farmers with EHA and OEM joining forces to help support Rural Aid’s Buy a Cow project,” said Chairman of the Original Eumundi Markets Board, Barrie Adams.

“The Buy a Cow project is an initiative of Rural Aid that follows the buy a bale campaign.  The loss of over 500,000 head of cattle is a massive hit to the industry. Many of these family farming operations have lost their core breeders which will take them years to replace.”

“After being in drought and feeding these animals for 7 years, these farmers need all the help they can get and now it’s time to give these farmers a boost with rebuilding their herd numbers. Many farmers will have no income for at least 12 or 18 months, maybe longer. This campaign is offering them practical support.”

The Christmas in July event will include entertainment by the Boston Belles, Christmas themed decorations and table settings, three courses of Christmas fare by local chef Peter Wolfe and a cash bar.   Early bird prices up to 30th June are only $60 per person and tables of 8 are available for groups.  Tickets after 30th June will be $70 per person.

Tickets can be purchased online through www.trybooking.com/BBTMC
