Christmas lunch at Parnassus Restaurant

On the 20th of December the Probus Club of East Pakenham boarded the bus in James Street to head off for their annual Christmas Lunch at Parnassus Restaurant in Drouin. The bus trip was a great start to the day and set the happy joyous mood for the celebration to come.

Parnassus is set in such a beautiful area in Drouin, the views are amazing with a backdrop of mountains in the far distance.

The Christmas Lunch was delicious. 

We were beautifully entertained by Marceau Camille, a very accomplished and versatile musician and singer who played various instruments. The dance floor was very popular as couples gyrated to the old crowd pleasers liked the Chicken Dance, The Hokey Pokey, Nut Bush and other circle dances, a good time was had by all.

At the end of the celebrations, we all got a lovely little gift.

Tired and happy, we all boarded the bus and arrived safely back in Pakenham. It was a wonderful day.

We would all like to Thank Joan Vogels for organising this wonderful Christmas celebration.
