Once we all arrive at the Tavern, there is car parking directly behind the Tavern, there is a car park next to the right of of the right we are able to use and we are also able to park in the Church grounds. A huge thank you to Jake Mudge and Janice who organised and allowed us to use the grounds. If you are parking in the church grounds PLEASE be respectful. If there is still overflow from these areas there is parking across the main road near the skate park, furthermore there is a public car park down the road past the church near the school.
Please see map of parking areas.
There will be live music on the day, face painting for the kids and the ever popular visit from Santa on a fire truck. This year Santa is visiting thanks to the generosity of the Axedale CFA and will be giving out lolly pops with thanks to the generosity of Sam Ellis Constructions.
A raffle will be ran on the day with some AMAZING prizes!! A huge thank you to India from Munari Wines and Chris from Advanced Engine Dynamics Bendigo (AED). Chris and India have been organising the raffle at the Toy Dash for a few years now! All money raised from the raffle is used to buy even more toys for donation to the Salvation Army. Last year the raffle raised $1200!!! I personally go shopping and deliver the extra toys to the Salvos before Christmas.
