Kaikorai Childrens Day took place on Sunday March 7th on the Nairn Street reserve. The day, organised by the Kaikorai Presbyterian Church with the active support of Flagstaff Union and Highgate Presbyterian Churches, bought together many community organisations with the desire to celebrate children and to extend to them 'praise and encouragement' (the national theme of Children's Day 2010).
In organising Children's Day, it was our hope that families would have time to enjoy each other and that relationships would be strengthened within the Hills community.
Festivities began with an outdoor church service, led by members of the Kaikorai and Flagstaff congregations. At 11.30am colourful balloons wre released as the stalls were opened and the park became a fairground.
Truly there was something for everyone, with Devonshire teas, hot dogs, sausage sizzles and candyfloss. The horizontal bungy frustrated many as they tried to reach the elusive prize, and the Astro ball, mini cars, merry-go-round, crafts, old-fashioned games entertained the children while the adults rummaged through the jumble sale.
