Super hero Sunday
THE heroes of the floods after Tropical Cyclone Jasper are to be celebrated on Sunday at Yorkeys Knob.
Yorkeys Knob Boating Club is hosting a special celebration to honour the heroes who played various vital roles of assistance during Cairns’ recent floods.
The Superhero Sunday event from 11am-7pm will toast the volunteers, such as the State Emergency Service and other community members who exceeded expectations to help their neighbours.
The Superhero Sunday event involves six bands: Grace Jones Music, 3’s A Crowd, Barbary Coasters, True North Boogie Band, No More No Less, and Fingerprint.
In addition to live music, there will be activities for children, including free face painting, entertainment, and prizes for the best-dressed superheroes.
Boating club general manager Krisztina Jahshan said that it was extremely significant to recognise these people.
“It’s essential to show our appreciation for the dedication and bravery of our local heroes,” she said.
“This event is our way of saying thank you to them and providing a platform for the community to express their gratitude.”
