As Ekka fever takes over the city, Brisbane Roar players Shane Stefanutto and Matt Acton were on hand to spread the festive cheer to those unable to attend.
Each year, Brisbane-s Royal Children-s Hospital hosts a mini-Ekka on the lawn aimed at entertaining young in-patients who can-t attend the full-scale event which takes place just down the road at the RNA Showgrounds.
In addition to enjoying the displays, games and face-painting with the children, Stefanutto and Acton also spent time visiting the wards to deliver Ekka showbags to patients who were unable to leave their beds.
“It was a fantastic mini-Ekka on the front lawn and hopefully the kids left with big smiles on their faces and some goodies in their showbags,” Acton said.
“Hats off to the Royal Children-s Hospital for putting on such a great event for all the children.”
