Casey mayor Geoff Ablett helps Cranbourne Primary School students Christopher and Ronan decorate flags that will be displayed along High Street for the MRA Cranbourne GP Run.STUDENTS from five different primary schools in Cranbourne will be channelling their creative talents as they decorate more than 100 flags to be displayed at the MRA Cranbourne GP Run.
The flags will be on show along High Street in Cranbourne at the event on Saturday 17 October. Thousands of motorcyclists will gather in the streets of Cranbourne at 10am for the wave off as they begin their journey to the Grand Prix track at Phillip Island.
Casey mayor Geoff Ablett said he looked forward to seeing the decorated flags.
“At the MRA Cranbourne GP Run all of the riders and spectators will get the opportunity to view the artwork created by talented and enthusiastic students at local Cranbourne schools,” Cr Ablett said.
Casey councillor and chairperson of the MRA Cranbourne GP Run organising committee, Kevin Bradford, said the project to decorate flags would contribute positively to the atmosphere and community spirit at the event.
“The flags will be a colourful spectacle, and I’m sure the local students will be both proud and excited to see their artwork displayed in public,” Cr Bradford said.
“The MRA Cranbourne GP Run is one of the most exciting community events in Victoria, so it is fitting that the local community is involved in the lead-up to the day,” Cr Bradford said.
Throughout High, Childers, Bakewell and Lyall streets, there will be activities for the family, including face painting, go-karts, car displays and food stalls.
