by Peter Lang, Marketing Officer, Penrith City Council.Well I enjoyed myself and so did an estimated 3,000 other people who turned up, 'snuck a peek' and had some serious fun at the recent Penrith City Council Family Fun Day On August 8.
It was a beautiful, clear and brisk winter Saturday morning which greeted myself and dozens of other Council employees as we set up our displays and awaited for the public to sample all the things we had on offer.
There was a stage which featured some of the areas most promising young talent. Tree shrubs were given out by the thousand and hundreds of children got their chance to sit inside and experience some of the 'big trucks' their local Council uses to help keep the city clean.
There were rides and slides and even snakes....yeah...I kept away from that guy plus giveaways galore.
It was one of those days where you were entertained but also learned something as well. I, for one, enjoyed talking to all the people who stopped by the 'Information Stand', picked up a Penrith Valley Experience magazine and then went on their way with a big smile on their dial.
I look forward to doing it all again next year! I'll certainly be back, will you?
