Winter Wonderland was the theme for this year’s combined Pakenham Probus Clubs Annual Day and what a spectacular event it turned out to be.
Congratulations to Pakenham Club’s sub-committee for the ideas, the preparation and surprise to all of us, including their own club members.
With a member who is a professional singer and his singing partner on the day, we had plenty of foot tapping time, an invitation to get up and dance along, starting with the Hokey Pokey.
Frankie was the MC for the day and he certainly kept the entertainment rolling.
Of course, as with all Probus Clubs, the day started with a lot of members showing off their appropriate dressing for the event, then home-made goodies for morning tea, and the show was on the road.
A magnificent lunch was served with plenty of delicacies for the hungry.
Then back to the entertainment, which included a ballroom dancing display.
What a magnificent day in a venue that had been lavishly transposed by the decorations, made of course by members of the club with some pieces helped by the craft group.
A special decorated wall display had been generated for photos of the day to be taken and kept for their records.
With prizes being presented throughout the program, there was certainly a lot of expectation.
Will they pull my ‘day’s name’ out of the bag?
A good day is nothing without more food and so more homemade goodies appeared to make even the satisfied get in the queue for afternoon tea.
A good time was had by all and we now look forward to next year’s event.
Fun, friendship and fellowship are the rewards for being a Probian!
