Special fundraiser as Parkes Caravans turns 25

"Parkes we’re coming your way!"

That's the message from Ronald McDonald House Charities Central West.

Local business Parkes Caravans is turning 25 and as part of their silver anniversary celebrations this weekend, Troy Thomson and the team are hosting a Ronald McDonald House fundraiser.

And everyone is invited.

Join them for a massive three-day celebration from Friday to Sunday, 20-22 June, to mark 25 incredible years of Parkes Caravans.

Enjoy live music, free sausage sizzle, jumping castle, face painting and go for a ride in a pink Cadillac at their premises at 84–92 Forbes Road, Parkes all day Friday.

There's also a two person ambrose golf competition at the Parkes Golf Course that afternoon from 2.30pm.

There will be bus tours of Parkes attractions from 9am (bookings essential) and footy on the big screen with fire pits under the stars on Saturday.

Those from out of town can stay the whole weekend too with free camping available onsite at Parkes Caravans (bookings also essential to manage numbers) and a camp oven cook-up.

Families from across the Parkes district have stayed at RMHC Central West for a total of 2243 nights while their child or a mum experiencing a high risk pregnancy was receiving treatment in Orange.

To be eligible to use Ronald McDonald House in Orange you must live 25km from Orange and have a sick or injured child under 18 years receiving hospital treatment or attending specialist appointments in Orange; if you have a high risk pregnancy or have a baby being treated in the special care nursery.
