13 December 2004

Celebrate youth and the end of the school year at the Colac Skate N' Rage being held at Colac Otway Performing Arts and Cultural Centre and Colac Skate Park on Friday, December 17.

Colac Otway Shire's Youth Council and FReeZA Committee in conjunction with Colac Skate Committee and local breakdancing groups have organised Skate N' Rage for secondary students from across the Shire, including those from Lavers Hill and Apollo Bay.

At 5pm it's off to COPACC to see Jim Carrey's latest movie "A Series of Unfortunate Events." The three Baudelaire children awake one morning to hear their parents died in a fire during the night. When they are sent to a distant relative, they find out that he is plotting to kill them and seize their fortune. The film also stars Jude Law, Meryl Streep and Billy Connolly.

At 7.30pm FReeZA turns up the heat with 70s-style Melbourne punk band H-Block 101 who are being supported by GroverBored and Kemp (formally from Colac) and winners of the 2004 Battle of the Bands, The Wise Gentlemen Good Time Band.
