Merdeka Carnival 31 August 2012 at Holy Family Kajang

The Holy Family Church Kajang held it's Merdeka Carnival on 31 August 2012. As usual, they were many activities planned through out the day.

The turnout was very good and there were a number of non Catholics who came for the food and fun too. The Carnival statted with the mass at 9 am and the official opening was done after the mass.

There were lots of food and drinks for the whole day.




There were games for the children and children at heart. These include the giant  slide, mechanical horse, horse ride, water dunk and other games. There were also carnival games which offered prizes.
 





There were also perfomances the whole day with lots of singing (solo, group and bands). Performances by the various migrants and language group were also staged. There were also line dances performed.

There was also a special appearance by Francesca Peters who wowed the more matured crowds with her hits and even performed a number of songs with Father George Harrison and a group of children. She later took photos with her fans.






 








There were also coloring contests for the children and various games such as futsal, captain ball and telematch held. The turn out and response was very encouraging to see so many young people taking part.



The carnival was supposed to finish at 6.30 pm but due to the games and the crowds, it was delayed to dusk. Overall, it was a fun day for many people and I must salute those who worked so hard to make this a success.

Until the next time, cheers.
