Community Day last Thursday brought together everyone from juniors to seniors, and a few firemen, to enjoy the formal re-opening of the community facilities at TYTO. There was story time and robotics, along with computer classes and colouring. The cake was cut and councillors and community alike enjoyed the sweetness of jovial conversations among the stacks of the beloved library.

Palm Creek was buzzing with energy this week, welcoming 13 first-timers, 5 PBs, and visitors from four different running clubs. In an exciting twist, a first-time participant took out the top spot at Palm Creek with a smashing debut!
Cardwell was just as lively, with 11 first-timers hitting the course, 3 PBs recorded, and friendly visitors joining in from Running Mums Australia and Caboolture Road Runners. Just like Palm Creek, a first-timer crossed the finish line first at Cardwell too. Clearly, newcomers were out to impress this week!
For the curious among you, if you look up the results and notice a little green leaf next to some names, that’s Parkrun's way of showing who’s visiting that course for the very first time. There were plenty of leafy icons this week, likely thanks to travellers in town for the Ingham Show. What better way to shake off Friday’s hot chips and fairy floss than a Saturday morning 5K?
A big thank you to all the volunteers who kept the music pumping, the Zooper Doopers icy cold, and the vibe high! You’re the heart of every run.
