Hands covered in paint soon moved from making a mural to ‘painting’ friends. Misha Miller. Xavier Donaldson, left, and Belinda Van der Star, both aged six from Gulf Harbour. Water bottles ready for action. The Miller family – from left, Erin, Carol and Kanye got into the colour chaos spirit early. Obstacles included suspended hoops and tunnels.
Tee shirts didn’t stay white for long as local families took part in the inaugural Colour Chaos event at Gulf Harbour School.
Around 360 people ran, danced, skipped or walked their way through an obstacle and activity course set up around the school’s fields, while being pelted with coloured powder – a mix of cornflour and food colouring.
An opportunity to make a mural of painted handprints doubled as an excuse for young participants to get paint on each other.
The event, held on Sunday, April 8, was a fundraiser for a school playground. Around $3500 was raised.
Principal Mel Crosbie got her wish – that all participants “would finish the day looking like a rainbow”. This included Mel herself.
