On Sunday the community gathered for a day of adventure and fun at the annual St Joseph's Primary School Fete and Colour Run.
There was something for everyone with the market stalls, kid’s amusements, face painting, ball drop, helicopter joy flights, with the day ending in a rainbow with their colour run.
St Joseph’s Primary School Community Council representative Sharon Webster said that this year the aim was to raise funds to replace some of the school’s old IT.
“We are so grateful for the Community Bank Boorowa coming on as major sponsors and they kindly donated the Holi colour powder,” Sharon said.
“It was a great community day with huge local business representation and not just a day for the kids but also the wider community.
