Inkredible Experiences 13th birthday bash and fundraiser for Lifeline: Don’t miss out on a fun filled family day out on Sunday 28th May at Inkredible Experience Tattoo Gallery and Barber. It is going to be so big, the entire block in the main street will be closed off so that the fun can spill out on to the street for everyone to enjoy.
Bring the kids for free face painting and jumping castle. They will be doing flash tattoos on the day, raffles, giveaways, barbering and piercing in-store and much more. There will be merchandise on offer and the focus of the day is to raise funds for Lifeline and encouraging people to open up and have conversartions if they are doing it tough. Entertainment will be provided by The Dyagang Boys and Foxxy Cleopatra.

• Group careers exploration sessions from year 7

Can you spot the real Costa? Local Parkes resident Deb Abela sent us this great photo which was taken on Costa’s recent visit to Parkes. It shows Costa holding a gift that was handmade for him by Deb, its a “spitting image Costa”. We think Deb did a great job and Costa was very excited to receive the gift.
