Olympian Matt Denny will be given a hero’s welcome when he returns home to Allora following his bronze medal winning performance in Paris

Southern Downs Regional Council has joined forces with the Allora community to honour the men’s discus champion with a street parade and an afternoon of celebrations on Friday 4 October from 2:00 pm.

Residents are invited to gather along Warwick and Herbert Streets in Allora from 1.30 pm. The parade will start at 2:00 pm from the Allora Discus Circle, head up Warwick Street, turn onto Herbert Street and finish at the corner of Herbert and Drayton Streets.

 Following the parade, the community is invited to join Matt at the Allora Community Hall from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm for a good old-fashioned afternoon tea, including a Q&A Session at 4:15 pm.
