Great fun was had at Elsburg Community Police Forum\u2019s (CPF) family fun day, held at Ho\u00ebrskool Elsburg recently.<\/p>\n

The event was aimed at raising funds for the CPF.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe forum is in need of funds for items that will help improve our operation,\u201d said the event coordinator, Amanda van Straaten.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe funds will be used to buy bulletproof vests, car magnet stickers and reflector jackets.\u201d<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Amanda added that they are still to confirm the total amount of funds raised.<\/p>\n

The event also served as a great family outing, with children enjoying time on the jumping castle and having their faces painted by Harcourts Heloman, through the help of Leonora Swart.<\/p>\n

People had a variety of food stalls to choose from.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great event; thanks to everyone who came and joined in the fun,\u201d commented Amanda.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also appreciate everything our sponsors did to make the day the success it was.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to Ink Graphics Alberton, Hannes Nieuwoudt (Ho\u00ebrskool Elsburg principal), plus In City Security\u2019s John Sizer and Debbie Potgieter, for the guards they provided for us.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also extend our gratitude to Feinschmaker, Bloo-loo for helping us with toilets and Chad Hodgkinson and Warren Pick, for making sure we had Netcare 911 paramedics at our event.\u201d<\/p>\n

Live performances by Leroi, Cowboy, Renier van Straaten, WilmaDee and Marzjeanne ensured that everyone was singing and dancing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother heartfelt thank you goes to Hyundai Germiston – and Mark and JP Taljaard who brought along their exciting V8 Outlaw sprint cars,\u201d concluded Amanda.<\/p>\n
