Preschool Twilight BBQ

the Preschool Twilight BBQ was on Friday February 19th at Kynan & Rachel's. BBQ & drinks make sure you ask someone about it - I'm sure there are lots of stories to tell

This was a combined event of the Hope Valley Uniting Church Preschool Ministry and Playgroups for preschoolers and their families.
