The Millgrove Residents’ Action Group (MRAG) successfully held another Millgrove Community Open Day on Sunday 20 October.
Part community festivities and part informative safety and resilience seminar, the Millgrove Community Open Day was started by MRAG as a way to bing residents of the township together as well as work towards creating a more emergency-resilient community.
Hosted outside the Wesburn/Millgrove CFA, Upper Yarra SES held a demonstration of how they use the ‘Jaws of Life’ in a road rescue scenario while Ted from Red Cross gave a presentation on how to get prepared.
MRAG themselves also took the opportunity to launch their 2024 Community Plan.
The event was certainly not short of entertainment, with singer Maite performing twice throughout the day, Chris James performing his ‘Kazam Magic Show’, the Misfit Theatre Company’s Junior Crew performing, rock band Toil from Little Yarra Steiner School jamming out and The Dreaming Space’s ‘Funky Monkey Family Band’ performing a variety of musical and acrobatic feats.
Photographer Angela Rivas captured plenty of shots from the Funky Monkey Family Band show and kindly supplied them to the Star Mail to share.
