A heavy downpour failed to dampen the spirits of those attending the Wellsford School Ag and Gala Day on Saturday, October 29.
Thankfully, the rain stayed away long enough to allow for the judging of the calves, lambs and goats.
The day marked a re-brand of the Wellsford School ag and gala day with a new management team, Board of Trustees and PTA on board at the school.
As well as being able to view well raised and cared for animals, visitors were able to see students participate in classroom activities such as photography, colouring competitions, edible gardens, scarecrows, recyclable creations, pet rocks and ‘bake and decorate’.
The day included bouncy castles, jousting, food, drinks, raffles, silent auctions, quick fire raffles, and a plant and produce stand. Just over $15,000, was raised, which will go towards school projects.
Organisers extended a huge thank you to sponsors, the community, parents, staff and PTA members for their support in making the event such a success.
