"That multi-generational support is just wonderful. It was such a special event, to celebrate the new young residents of our community."
Families received gift bags, personalised certificates, and commemorative saplings, symbolising the growth and future of the community. Activities like face painting and crafts kept the little ones entertained, while parents and grandparents mingled.
