The Lara Happenings has been a part of the Lara Community for many years and is one of the few regular community newsletters produced in the region. It is also the only publication of its type that is provided free to the community each fortnight.
The move to the full colour printing has been an exciting change to the Happenings and the publication continues to be valued in the community for the information we are able to provide on behalf of the contributors.
