The Hub celebrates in style

17 Jun, 2009 04:00 AM
THE 1920s roared back into the streets of Miller when the community celebrated the Hub's 9th birthday.

In keeping with the theme of the event local artists and singers performed hits from the era, visitors dressed up in costume to win the Best-Dressed competition, there was a line-dancing demonstration and a 1920s quiz.

Stephen Fowler got the laughs rolling with some classic 1920s jokes. Aboriginal resident Cary performed the ``welcome to country'' and Ces Cross sang about the life of Aboriginal artist Albert Namatjira.

Ben Campbell read a poem he wrote about the Hub's community spirit and MafiHanisi performed an original song about what the Hub meant to him.

Hub Security guard and co-organiser of the event, Eddie Matenga, said all the performers were locals.

``It was a great day for everyone and we'll definitely do more events like this,'' he said.

Volunteers and staff at the Hub were presented with certificates for the services they provide to the community.

Staff and volunteers also had fun with karaoke, performing jazz hits from the musical Chicago, and a free barbecue was set up for all to enjoy.

The Hub's Manager, Lisa Thompson, said that membership was increasing, with about 800 visitors coming in every month.

``The Hub is here for the community and a place where everyone can go,'' she said.

``It's wonderful to see all the skills our local people have displayed here today.''
