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.

If you got out and about this last Thursday and Friday, we may have bumped into each other at the Community Day at Tyto or the Ingham Show! Even if you didn't see me, know that I was there to capture the fun moments, and you may even spot yourself in the crowd shots. Go and check them out in the pages of this week's paper.

We looked at all the displays and enjoyed the arts pavilion the most. From Terracotta warriors made by school children, stunning handmade quilts, felted toys and striking photographs, to gorgeous floral displays and creative cakes. The Ingham Show was the place to be on Thursday afternoon and all Friday.
