A day of celebrating all abilities
The sun was out and so were plenty of smiles last Tuesday, December 3, at Tiny Goats and Co in Dimboola to commemorate International Day of People with Disabilities.
Organised by Hindmarsh Shire Council, 70 people attended the farm, where they enjoyed quality time with baby goats and a barbeque lunch.
Hindmasrh Shire Council CEO Monica Revell said it turned out to be a good day.
"It was fantastic, there were smiles on everyone's faces," she said.
Games were also scattered around the place, with the barn open for anyone wanting a quiet place to hang out.
Last years event was held at the Dimboola Rowing Club where attendees were entertained with games and music.
"We thought we'd try something different and it's always popular here," Ms Revell said.
International Day of People with Disability is a United Nations (UN) observed day, that aims to increase public awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability and celebrate their achievements and contributions.
