ROTARY CAROLS AT HORSLEY PARK - 2023
 
Volunteers from the Rotary Club of Wetherill Park, their friends, families and local residents, as well as volunteers from Horsley Park RFS and Eastern Creek RFS, combined with 40 performers who braved the 42-degree heatwave to present the 27th Rotary Carols at Horsley Park on Saturday 9th December.
We thank our Partner and Major Sponsor Smithfield RSL (via the ClubGrants program).
 
The always-entertaining FREE event culminated with a dazzling display from Foti Fireworks (sponsored by St Johns Park Bowling Club)and the drawing of the raffle with over $10,000 prize value.

2021 CAROLS CANCELLED
With sadness, we have had to CANCEL the 2021 Rotary Carols at Horsley Park, due to recent heavy rainfall.
 
The Rotary Club of Wetherill Park and the local Horsley Park community have been presenting this family event since 1997 (missing out in 2015 due to weather, and 2020 due to a pandemic) and we are determined to make it happen next year.
 
Our $12,000 Christmas Raffle was drawn at Smithfield RSL on Tuesday 7th December 2021 in public by the Duty Manager.
Here are the results...
