Help us get all dressed up!

The LCA are dressing up Lobethal's Main Street from Bridge Street to Mill Corner to welcome riders in the Santos Tour Down Under race on Friday 21 January 2011.

Community support for dressing the town so far has been great but still more help is needed!
The following items have been donated to help us to decorate the town :

• Corflutes have been donated by the Lobethal Hotel and Elders Real Estate.
• Bikes have been given to us by Balhannah Recycling Depot; Hop, Skip and Dump, Woodside.  About Bikes in Woodside have donated a number of old bike wheels. These items are to be decorated by the children in the after school care program at Lobethal Primary School (LPS).
• Mr Damian Sheridan’s class at LPS contributed 17 posters with messages of welcome to the town that can be used in shop windows.

In addition,

• The Lobethal Luthern Primary School children have been invited to decorate their bikes and gather in the amphitheatre opposite the Post Office..
• The kindergarten program will involve children in making items for the occasion.
• The Adelaide Hills Council will provide balloons and streamers.
• The hanging lanterns in the Lights of Lobethal Festival currently on display along Main Street will be used for the event and contribute to the festive atmosphere, thanks to the Lights of Lobethal committee.

Bikes and other suitable display items are still being sought, as are volunteers to help place decorations along Main Street early race day. Phone Kathryn on 8389 6162 if you can help.

For the young riders

After the race has moved through Lobethal, children aged 3-6 years are invited to ride a mini bike track with some pedestrian crossing, give way and stop signs in the courtyard of Tilbrook Estate, AHBTC. New and young riders can enjoy a track of their own. The idea is to give the children an opportunity to ride their bikes in a safe environment and learn a little about road safety.  Come and enjoy low cost refreshments of a sausage sizzle and wine, for the adults, will be served by the glass until 3pm.
