The Country Education Foundation of Coleambally-Darlington Point’s trivia night on July 26 provided an evening of good fun and brain exercise for all teams.
As a break from answering questions, one of the games involved constructing a contraption using everything provided in one brown paper bag - string, balloons, plastic cups and plates, straws.
To win, the contraption had to stand by itself for 30 seconds and be the tallest.
The teams were very creative on this project, with the winner being the CICL team.
The CICL team ‘Don’t peak too soon’ won the night overall with a score of 68 points, only one point ahead of team Rex.
Team Qantas took out the lollipop award.
Six $50 Chamber of Commerce vouchers sponsored by CICL were provided as prizes in the continuous raffle draw.
The lucky door prize sponsored by Tim’s Meats was won by Alison Hayes.
The Country Education Foundation of Coleambally-Darlington Point greatly appreciates the support of sponsors and team players.
On behalf of the community, we say thanks to the CEF CDP committee members for their efforts.
All funds raised go towards education grants for our young people.
