HUNDREDS of Ipswich families got into the Christmas spirit at Carols in the Park on the weekend despite the evening rain.

The skies opened just as the carolling began but Reverend Peter Hobson said the Glebe Road Uniting Church event on Saturday was still great fun.

“I think it was the first time it’s rained since we’ve done the carols but, having said that, people stayed and had a great time,” Reverend Hobson said.

“We really wanted to make it a community event.”

The carols also included a jumping castle and a petting zoo for the kids and line dancing before the Glebe Road Uniting Church choir and the children’s choir led the singing from 7pm.

“Everything was free,” Reverend Hobson said.
