From Alvin and the Chipmunks, to Ironman and even the odd Minecraft character, every one of the managers and team members got into the spirit and went over and above to support McHappy Day, which raises vital funds for McDonald’s House and the range of charitable initiatives it operates.
There was plenty of activities on offer including colouring in for youngsters, temporary tattoos, bracelet making, free bags of lollies and lots of balloons to take home.
The local community did its bit, digging deep to share some gold coins with the tin-rattlers at the drive-thru as well as purchasing raffle tickets.

On top of that $2 from every Big Mac sold on the day was also donated.
McDonald’s Seymour manager, Dylan Kelly, said all McDonald's stores across Australia dress up, get in the spirit, and raise as much money as they can for the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
“On the day we had people from the local community stores rattling tins,” he said.
“We've had raffles here, and we sell things like socks and hats.”

Mr Kelly said the day is also a great opportunity for staff to engage with the charitable side of the organisation and have some fun dressing up.
“It's always super fun to see all the positivity that it brings and all the kids who come in and get excited to see the costumes.
“That's the best part of it.”
Mr Kelly said the day could not have been such a success without the dedication of two of its managers.
“Belle Baehr and Chloe Winnell have done a great job, arranging today” he said.
