Johnsonville Rotary children’s day

The Johnsonville Rotary Club hosted the second Teddy Bears Picnic and Children’s Day at Rewa Rewa School on 12 March.

Mayor Tory Whanau came to open the event and bought some earrings from one of the market stalls.

This free event included a bouncy castle, face painting, and games as well as competitions for all sorts of teddy bears and colouring in.

Greg O’Connor once again was an able judge of the oldest, biggest and cutest teddy bears.

Lots of families had picnics using the Sri

Lankan curries, sausage sizzle, cupcakes, ice creams and candyfloss available.

“Our club is happy to host this free community event to see the fun and enjoyment experienced by young and old,” the club’s President, Neil Haydon, says.

“Our multi-cultural club likes to have fun as well as serve our community and we would love to hear from people who would like to help us at our future events – craft and Christmas markets, Toot 4 Tucker and our other services.”
