On February 20th, the Terwillegar Community League held their annual Family Day event in the Terwillegar Towne community gardens.

The event was well attended by young and old. Due to the mild conditions, our snowshoeing games and snowman contest could not go ahead. However, there were plenty of other activities to keep the whole family entertained.

Everyone had the opportunity to try a game of zorbing football which was great fun, enjoy a sleigh ride or cook bannock on the fire while enjoying a hot chocolate and a treat. The purpose of this annual event is to bring community together. It a great chance to catch up with friends and meet new members of the community.

To finish off the day, the fun was moved indoors to the Terwillegar Community Church to watch the movie, Moana and have a pizza supper. And boy did we eat pizza - 80 empty pizza boxes to be exact.

We also had glitter tattoos for anyone who wanted to add a little bit of sparkle to their day.

TCL would like to thank everyone in our community who attended our event and a very special thank you to everyone who volunteered their time on the day. These events can't happen without you! Page 19 www.terwillegar.org April 2017
