It was Great to see so many people enjoying the treasure hunt and challenges with Team Numbers up on last years awesome event! All about active community participation and highlighting some of the great things that are available in charters towers
The involvement of more local clubs and businesses was a welcome edition in the 2nd year which was awesome !
Variation of activities was the key as we wanted people to be able to find things to keep them interested after the event was finished.
Hopefully the participants got a taste of a few things which they would like to do more of into the beginning of the sports season in 2017.
The mix of young and old being involved was great, we loved watching the adults inspire the kids and visa versa
The addition of the free Sanitarium breakfast was really great too
