The Pakenham Hills Resident Group with generous support from the Cardinia Shire Council & Marcus Washington Area Specialist held their annual Neighbour Day Celebration on 30 March at the reserve in Windermere Blvd Pakenham.
The small group of volunteers put on the event for their local community providing a time for our residents to increase social connection and cohesion within our local area.
Residents Group President David Roberts said it was great to see so many local families come out to enjoy the festivities.
This is the third year the group has held the Neighbour Day celebration. An estimated 350 people were in attendance to enjoy the free pony rides and facepainting. There was also a sausage sizzle along with some local food vendors providing Fairy floss and cheesecakes
Local music school Creative Soul Studios showcased some amazing vocal talents in the performance tent. Steve the magician was a hit with children very much liking his performance.
A highlight this year was the attendance of Council’s Community Engagement team member Emma who was on hand to answer any questions from the community and consult the Council Plan.
Special attendance include Cardinia Shire Council, Mayor Jack Kowarzik and Henty Ward Councillor Liz Roberts also attended.
