THE Heathcote and Surrounds All Ages Activities Committee are celebrating the success of their recent teddy bears\u2019 picnic.<\/p>\n
Committee spokesperson Ruth Austin said they visited residents at Heathcote Heath Aged Care Facility to get the fun started.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a game and a sing-along,\u201d she said. \u201cSharing chocolates was a hit.\u201d<\/p>\n
The action then moved to Barrack Reserve where a small but enthusiastic crowd joined in pin the bowtie on the teddy, a three-legged race, musical statues, t-ball, and a teddy bear competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a teddy bear that was 60 years old and one that was only received at Christmas,\u201d Ms Austin said.<\/p>\n
Ms Austin also said hot weather stopped the advertised pie eating competition from going ahead.<\/p>\n
\u201cBe careful, you just never know when we will be holding that competition,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The committee have several events planned for coming months including an anti-valentines trivia night on Tuesday, 14 February, followed by a town clean-up on Sunday, 5 March.<\/p>\n
They are also seeking donations for an Easter egg hunt in April.<\/p>\n
