Anyone's fifth birthday is an important one. This year The Centre in Beaudesert is five years old and everyone is invited to celebrate.
The Centre has become the hub of Beaudesert's cultural scene and over the five years it has hosted many concerts by national and international artists, numerous debutante balls and seasons of plays and musicals by many touring companies as well as the resident theatre company BAMS.
Its art gallery has welcomed over 35 different exhibitions from many local artists right through to national touring shows from the Art Gallery of Queensland and beyond.
Films, school productions, dance recitals have entertained thousands of people over the time and The Centre has also been a popular venue for meetings, conferences, dinners and workshops.
In fact, total visitors to The Centre have numbered well over 105,000 since its opening in February 2007, with the number of events averaging over 400 per year.
Birthday celebrations are going to take place on Saturday 25 February from 10am with Beau FM broadcasting live until 2pm.
This will be a free event which will include a wide range of entertainment and activities for all the family.
Morning tea will start the celebrations with everyone invited to decorate a cup cake in The Centre's honour. Also at 10.30am visitors can kick up their heels with the Outback Linedancers who are eager to demonstrate their latest dance routines.
A Choired Taste and BAMS (the Centre's resident entertainers) will sing their hearts out from 11am to 11.30am with performers from Beau FM taking the stage from 11.30am to 12 Noon.
The party will finish with everyone invited to a free screening of the colourful comedy/adventure - The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course starring Steve and Terri Irwin, Magda Szubanski and David Wenham.
For anyone who has never seen a crocodile in the Logan River, this is the movie for you. It was filmed all around the Scenic Rim and viewing Mt Barney from the air is a breath-taking experience in itself. The amazingly messy old farm house and barn where Magda Szubanski's character lives were constructed on Knapp Creek Road especially for the film.
The Centre opened on 24 February, 2007. It was redeveloped by the multi-international award winning architects Cox Rayner, who just last year won the world's best transport project at the World Architecture Awards in Barcelona, Spain for the Kurilpa Bridge in Brisbane.
