Grafton, New South Wales, Australia: Outdoor Perfect Fundraiser for One Public School

A MOVIE screening under the stars in Grafton will go ahead as a fundraiser next Friday.

Karen Crispin, the vice-president of the Grafton Public School P and C, is the driving force behind the Cinema Under the Stars fundraiser for the school.

After the concept came up in conversation, Karen was determined to make it a must-attend event leading up to Christmas festivities.

We wanted to do a fundraiser that was really different and that would be fun for the whole family, she said.

At this stage, the proceeds from the event will go to improving the technological tools of the school, she said.

The Grafton Public School P and C will host a showing ofВ Bedtime Stories, starring Adam Sandler, on an 8x4 metre inflatable screen on the Grafton High School oval.

If the weather turns bad, the program will go ahead on the main quadrangle at Grafton High School.

The fun program will begin at 5.30pm, with the movie at 7.30pm, depending on the amount of sunlight on the screen.

There will be a jumping castle, a Christmas ham wheel, a barbecue, snow cones, popcorn, cold drinks and fairy floss to keep everyone happy.
