๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐ŸŽธ A BMX show with the driving energy of a rock concert is heading to Kaniva these school holidays!

Scottโ€™s BMX Trick Bike Show will roll into the Kaniva Shire Hall on Thursday 2nd July from 2:30pmโ€“3:30pm, bringing an afternoon of jaw-dropping tricks, live music and plenty of laughs for the whole family.

Featuring musicians direct from Circus Oz, this high-energy performance combines world-class BMX riding, physical comedy and live rock-style music into a show that keeps audiences cheering from start to finish ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ”ฅ

At the centre of it all is Scott Hone โ€” a world-renowned BMX flatland rider and circus performer โ€” sharing the story of how a kid with a bike and a big dream ended up performing across Australia and around the world.

Expect impossible-looking spins, upside-down riding, balancing acts and tricks that have to be seen to be believed ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

But behind the stunts is a great message too โ€” about resilience, creativity, backing yourself and getting back up when things donโ€™t go to plan.

The show builds to a huge crowd-favourite finale, with audience members invited on stage for a spectacular group bike moment ๐Ÿšฒ๐Ÿ™Œ

Itโ€™s the kind of event that will have kids wide-eyed, parents smiling, and everyone talking about it afterwards.

๐ŸŽŸ Book through Kaniva LINK Neighbourhood House, Humanitix, or purchase tickets at the door.

A fantastic school holiday event for all ages โ€” donโ€™t miss it!

๐Ÿคฉ Wow, how cool is this? Weโ€™re absolutely stoked that Kaniva and District Progress Association has received a $1,500 donation through the Commonwealth Bank Community Donations Program ๐Ÿ‘

The donation came after one of the staff at Commonwealth Bank Nhill put KDPA forward in recognition of the work our volunteers have been doing over many years to support tourism, local business and community projects in Kaniva.

This funding will help us continue projects around town, including updating visitor signage and supporting some of the behind-the-scenes costs. From maintaining the Sheep Art Trail and tree lighting, through to beautification projects, signage and digital promotion, every bit of support helps keep things moving forward for our small community ๐Ÿ’™

A huge thank you to Carlee Kennedy and the team at Commonwealth Bank Nhill for thinking of Kaniva and backing grassroots community organisations like ours ๐Ÿ™Œ

KDPA is always happy to welcome new members and volunteers, so if youโ€™d like to get involved in supporting Kaniva, weโ€™d love to hear from you.

Behind many small businesses is a story that starts long before the shop ever opened ๐Ÿค In a small town of under 900 people, a puppet shop might seem unexpectedโ€ฆ but Julieโ€™s story begins with her mum.

Julie's mum was incredibly creative โ€” someone who could make almost anything. She passed that gift on, along with a love of sewing, toy-making and dolls. By the age of 12, Julie was already making her own clothes.

Julie laughs now remembering that every birthday and Christmas, her mum brought her a doll โ€” whether she wanted one or not! And at the age of 12, she received a baby doll from the USAโ€ฆ never imagining it would become a rare and sought-after piece 65 years later. That lifelong passion of creativity now fills her shop. And tucked alongside the puppets and nostalgic toys is another of her passions โ€” jigsaws ๐Ÿงฉ

With over 500 Ravensburger puzzles in store, itโ€™s no surprise theyโ€™re a popular choice around Motherโ€™s Day. As the weather turns cold, they offer a simple, calming way to spend time โ€” great for keeping the mind active, supporting memory, and ideal for those who prefer something relaxing to do at home.
