What a wonderful weekend!

What a wonderful weekend!

We hope you all enjoyed the wonderful ‘Christmas in Thomastown’ weekend held on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd of December, which started off the Festive Season in the town. The kids made Christmas cookies covered in sparkles at the School of Food and clay Christmas decorations in the afternoon at the Pottery Skills School.

The magic of Christmas was captured at the ‘Light Parade’, which was led through the streets of Thomastown by the Scouts and followed by the colourful Hip Hop Group. The crowd carried creative lanterns, some made at workshops given by local artists. There was heightened excitement as Santa arrived in his Magical Fire Engine to turn on the Christmas lights. This was followed by a movie at Thomastown Community Centre.
