News in Brief Carols in Kings Park Carols in Kings Park is this year coordinated by Councillors Lesley Young and Dayna Dennison and will follow a different format than recent years. “Rather than a concert style presentation, we wanted to get back to basics and make it a good old fashion sing-along. Our performers include the Latrobe Federal Band, Justine Barber, David Rockliff and Resonance. They will be leading the singing of well-known, favourite Christmas Carols for the audience to sing along with,” said Councillor Young.
