Residents of Thornhill Manor ushered in the holiday spirit with creativity and camaraderie at their annual Easter bonnet parade on Thursday, March 26.
The morning began in the hall, where the monthly tea and community lotto draw are now held. These events have recently been moved to the hall to accommodate their growing popularity among residents. The lively tea was followed by the excitement of the community lotto draw.
However, the true highlight was the parade of handcrafted headwear that saw residents showcasing an array of imaginative designs. From elegant floral arrangements to whimsical, rabbit-themed creations, the competition for the funniest, prettiest and most appropriate hats brought plenty of laughter and cheers to the crowd.
Congratulations to the winners of the parade: Vicky Keenan, who received the award for most appropriate; Nathan Herscovitz, who was recognised for the funniest creation; and Enid Dixon, who was awarded prettiest.
It was a wonderful celebration of community and craft, leaving everyone in high spirits for the long weekend ahead.
