"It's also a great time in the park with fun activities for the kids, free breakfast, community displays and delicious food stalls.

Mr Perrett said the late Sir James Killen was a well-loved and long-serving Member for Moreton from 1955 until 1983.

"Sir James Killen was loved and respected by all sides of politics and someone who used his position as a member of parliament to speak up for what he believed in and foster community spirit," he said.
