Houston & Killellan Kirk Carnival<br />
THE BLUE PLANET<br />
Saturday 12th May 12.30 pm at the Church West Halls.<br />
This year the theme is hoping to encourage local awareness to<br />
environmental issues. We need to be thinking about how we can teach<br />
and learn about recycling, litter, avoiding waste of any kind and looking<br />
after our environment for ourselves and the wildlife in our areas.<br />
We will have many of our usual stalls, although we are not having a book<br />
stall, soft goods or jewellery stall they are going to be replaced with<br />
a nearly new clothes stall for under fives. Another new stall will be a Home<br />
Produce ,preserves in glass jars etc., and Church Stall for information on<br />
Church activities and organizations.<br />
Three will be a performance area in front of the Carrick Centre where you<br />
will be entertained by local artistes.<br />
One of the most important parts of the Carnival is the parade and we<br />
would like to see more groups becoming part of this. This is a fantastic<br />
way of encouraging people to get involved in the community, get whatever<br />
organization you are in dressed up and join in this once a year event. This<br />
is an opportunity to show how you can help save the planet.<br />
We are always looking for volunteers, home baking, home produce and<br />
your support. Next months issue will give contact numbers for<br />
uplifting goods.<br />

involvement. You can help us by:<br />
• Getting in touch with us if you were a previous Miss Lilias.<br />
• Joining the parade - costume fitting on Sunday 11th <strong>March</strong>, 3pm - 5pm<br />
(change to previously advertised time), Old Library Centre, Kilbarchan.<br />
• Taking a stall - booking night on Tuesday 13th <strong>March</strong>, 7pm - 9pm, Old Library<br />
Centre.<br />
• Decorating your house - 50th anniversary themes welcome!<br />

for the day.<br />
