THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS ALIVE & WELL!
OUR GRINCH IS BACK!
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

We cannot BELIEVE it! A Christmas miracle if there ever was one!
On Saturday afternoon we received a call from the police - they had a hunch as to the whereabouts of our beloved Grinch. They visited a house in Townsville late yesterday and LOW AND BEHOLD there was our green boy! A little graffitied, a couple of mushroom stickers on his hat and in 3 pieces, but definitely our Grinch! The damage is nothing that we can't fix and his dog Max is delighted to have him home 💚💚💚

Townsville! We are so grateful to you! Every single person and business that shared our post and read our story played a part in this ❤🥹
Special shout out to Beehive Vinyl and Australian Lining Company for providing us with the crucial footage and to Townsville Bulletin for getting our story out there 💚

Ede Events is a local family business, operating for 57 years in Townsville. We adore this community and from my family to yours, Have a Very Merry Christmas!

TOWNSVILLE! GRINCH UPDATE!
Thanks to your support our plight has caught the attention of the BULLY. Page 3 today!
Return our Grinch, you Yuletide Bandits! There's soon to be nowhere to hide!

UPDATE ON OUR STOLEN GRINCH ! HELP US IDENTIFY THE CAR !

We are doing it Townsville! Thanks to your shares, we have received some footage of the culprits! You can fuzzily see our green boy being loaded into this silver SUV at approximately 2am on December 12th. On Keane Street headed toward McDonalds the Lakes.

What car enthusiast can give us the make and model of this car?! Is it a stolen vehicle? Or did some teens borrow mum's car to cause us this PAIN AND DEVASTATION?! 😭

Give us back our Grinch and we can forget the WHOLE THING 🥹

11/12/2023

SOMEONE STOLE OUR GRINCH 😡👎 HELP US FIND HIM !!

In a cruel twist of irony, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas has been stolen from the front of our shop at 44 Keane Street sometime last night. This was a custom built Grinch. Printed sheet aluminium on a steel stand. One of a Kind! He had been bringing Christmas joy to Keane Street for the last 3 years.

We want our Grinch back! Help us perform a Christmas miracle and share this post. Someone has him in their living room and is showing him off to their friends. Return our Grinch PLEASE, his dog Max misses him dreadfully.

★ MEET THE TEAM ★
We’re thrilled to introduce the faces behind the scenes, starting off with our General Manager Sally!

What's your role at Ede Events and what do you love most about it?
- I am the General Manager, so a lot of my job is liaising with our management team to ensure that everything is on track. I love all sorts of aspects of my job, but designing layouts for Major Events would have to be up there!

If you could describe yourself in three words, what would they be?
- Efficient, Hardworking, Honest

What's your Favorite thing about working with our team?
- I am so proud of our team. They put 100% into everything they do to produce professional results that rival much bigger businesses. Even on tough days where the work gets stressful – they pull together to get it done.

Tell us about a project or achievement at Ede Events that you're really proud of.
- Ede Events sponsored a Not-For-Profit event called Q***r Candy in February 2023. It saw 650 q***r folks and allies come together to celebrate diversity at a Club Night. We brought in talent from Sydney’s Mardi Gras and World Pride which helped showcase our own local talent. It was really successful and we are planning another one for 2024

Share a fun fact or hobby that people might not know about you.
- I have a couple of 3D printers and dabble in painting miniatures for tabletop gaming. Proper nerd stuff!

What's your Favorite quote or motto that inspires you?
- “If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell are you going to love somebody else?” - Ru Paul
