It looks like a new parents group has been created at Cherbourg as the result of a successful Easter egg hunt.
On Tuesday, Lesley Bell and Dennis Broom held the event at the Ration Shed Museum and were joined by 19 other parents and heaps of kids.
The children handed sandwiches around to adults and took part in an emu parade at the end of the event to leave the grounds sparkling clean.
A conversation afterwards led parents to believe they could form a group that will continue to organise family events in the town.
“We’ll approach government agencies for a bit of guidance at the start but we want to organise the activities ourselves,” Ms Bell said.
Mr Broome said the group would allow parents to become more involved in their children’s lives.
“People keep saying we need to do something for our children but then sit back and wait for somebody else to do it for them,” he said.
“We want to take action, start small but hopefully gain enough community support to keep going without the help of anybody but those who live within Cherbourg.
“That’s the way to create a happier future for all who live in the town.”
