Roaring Reptiles & Mighty Machines

Oct 01, 2014

Families and children from the community enjoyed a Saturday of fun on Sept. 20 at the Child Centre in Sharbot Lake at their annual Mighty Machines and Roaring Reptiles event. Community Living-North Frontenac partnered with Northern Frontenac Community Services to sponsor the event, which included a free barbeque lunch, arts and crafts activities, and an interactive display of trucks and vehicles for children to explore from different businesses and organizations in the community. Colin Efford of Ray's Reptiles was a huge draw and he presented numerous creatures to a captivated audience of children who had a chance to get up close and learn more about snakes, turtles, lizards and many other exotic creatures. The event also included a yard sale for the United Way. It was a busy day and before noon already 60 guests were on site enjoying the free activities and food. Hats off to all the organizers, volunteers and staff.
