THE Pakenham Gazette Kids Day Out race meeting promises a great day of fun in Pakenham on 20 January.
It’s not just about horse races either. There’s fun races and loads of hands-on activities for children of all ages.
The Kids Day Out has become a favourite event among families in the area, regularly attracting more than 5000 people to the picturesque facilities in Racecourse Road, Pakenham.
The feature race on the program is the Cardinia Cup. Pakenham Racing Club Chairman Don Duffy is looking forward to the day. “It’s a great day for families to enjoy together,” he said.
