Family fun is on offer this Saturday, March 9 at Tye Park, Welcome Bay with the Welcome Bay Lions Club Kids Fun Day back on for 2024!

Welcome Bay Lion Juleen Grant says everyone is welcome – as her club hosts the event annually to give back to the community.

“We host this event as something for the community – especially for families with children.

And there will be so much on offer – so mark your calendar to get to Tye Park this Saturday, March 9.”

Families should get ready for a wide offering of free games, entertainment and activities from 10am-2.30pm this Saturday.

Juleen says many of the games on offer will be traditional family fun from New Zealand’s yesteryear. “A lot of games we will offer are traditional old games – like egg and spoon races, sack races, and tug-of war – which we see don’t often see these days – plus a lolly scramble, colouring competitions, a bouncy castle and badminton.”

There will also be a sausage sizzle and food trucks, to satisfy hungry tummies.

The Welcome Bay Lions Club Kids Fun Day is on March 9, 2024, at Tye Park in Welcome Bay.

Kids enter for free, and for adults it’s a gold coin donation.
