Mid - Autumn Festive

We saw this mid autumn community flyer in our neighborhood and decided to participate. As this is our first community event, my husband, A is very enthusiastic. He rushed to buy the entrance tickets for fear of sold out signs as this is Kris first Mid Autumn celebration with us. He was beaming with pride as he announced to me that he grabbed those last few tickets. 

On the actual day, we thought that we will miss the event as Kris had her afternoon nap later. However, she woke up just in time as the sun sets. The weather was breezy and the event was conveniently situated near our residence. Wow, I exclaimed when i saw the crowd and felt the ambiance. Live performances are being performed on stage and rows of chairs are neatly arranged and available for residents. There are also photo booth, balloons booth and Chinese riddle booth to keep the children and adults occupied.  

It was heartwarming seeing so many familiar faces around the event. We collected our goodie bag which consist of a handheld paper lantern (nowadays the lantern comes with LED light. What an ingenious idea!), a mini moon cake, a MAC box consisting of a plain chicken burger and apple pie, a bottle of water, a note pad. What a lot of goodies for a $3 tickets, I thought.

We had fun at the photo booth with the many props available and Kris had her share of fun playing with the balloons that are painstakingly blew up and twisted by the volunteers. She was yapping with joy once she lay her hand on those balloons.

We went back around 9pm but A decided to stay for the luck draw which fortunately he did.

Verdict

A very well planned and executed event with plenty of stuff going on

Kris is still playing with the balloons after 3 days, what can I say

A good introduction for newbies like us

The next few nights were spent with family, Wong Fei Hong lanterns and not to be missed... moon cakes.
