The ACT Government sponsored 'round town events have commenced for 2007 with the first one being attended by over 500 Canberrans at an afternoon of family fun at Diddams Close Park on the shores of Lake Ginninderra.

Children were entertained with a jumping castle, face painting and a range of games while the adults were able to listen to the sounds of popular local band Funk Shui and help raise funds for the local Guides troop who provided the ever popular sizzled sausages.

"This is a very inexpensive way to spend a great time with family and friends and I encourage everyone to come and join in" Mary Porter said.

The program will run through autumn and full details are available at www.tams.act.gov.au
