Tully to celebrate 100 years
THE sugar town of Tully and surrounds are gearing up to celebrate its centennial in 2024-25.
Cassowary Coast Regional Council Division 3 Councillor Trudi Tschui said preparations were well under way.
“The steering committee is gathering monthly to start the ball rolling on the many events that are planned to mark the occasion, and it is hoped that many more will become involved as time progresses,” she said.
“Many of those in the community will remember the street party in Butler Street to celebrate the jubilee, but this centenary committee is working hard to organise a series of festivities to acknowledge the special year in Tully’s history.”
Cr Tschui said some of the events included:
• Cemetery walks
• Sugar Week industry celebrations
• Read-to-Me Day
• Multicultural Food Celebration -100 years of food.
“It is hoped that other groups, industries, schools, sporting clubs and service clubs will create their own event to mark their moment in ‘History - Come Home in 2024’.
