FANCY a spot of fun?
Whether you live here, or you have made the wise choice of coming to Vale da Telha and the surrounding areas for your holiday, we’ve got just the thing for you with a Family Fun Day from 2pm-8pm next Saturday, July 19.
Mum and dad will love it, and so will the kids—six hours of unbridled pleasure and enjoyment here right in the heart of Vale da Telha.
It’s all happening in the car park and on the frontages between the Restaurante Vale da Telha and Taska da Karisma on the Pines Roundabout.
Both bars will, of course, be serving drinks throughout the day and the Restaurante Vale da Telha will be hosting a barbecue.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines the word “fun” as a source or cause of amusement or pleasure, also diversion, amusement, sport; also, boisterous jocularity or gaiety, drollery.
And that’s exactly what we’ve got planned for you, all of the above, with this, Amovate’s first-ever Family Fun Day.
When you talk about fun and games, that’s just what we’ve got.
First off there will be live music, with the Bombeiros band performing in the afternoon from 3pm-3.30pm, followed in the evening, from 6pm-8pm, by the Algarve’s well-known country singer JJ Johns.
(Let’s see if we can get a few volunteers up to try a spot of line dancing!)
There are competitions, all with a small entrance fee with prizes for the eventual winners—our version of TV’s The Cube, a pool competition (on the pool table, not in the swimming pool!) and a darts contest.
Other games (each with a 1 Euro entrance fee) include boules, golf chipping, apple bobbing and guessing the number of stones in a jar.
Around all of these activities you will find stalls where you can enjoy face painting and hair braiding, check out the appeals of surfing, and browse hand-crafted jewellery and bangles.
Charities Madrugada and AEZA will also be hosting stalls at the event for anyone wishing to talk to their volunteers.
Amovate has arranged for car parking on the large area to the rear of both the Restaurante Vale da Telha and the Karisma, with the entrance in the road to the right of the Restaurante Vale da Telha, as you face it.
The GNR say there is a “No Parking” policy around the roundabout which will be strictly enforced.
So, if you have an hour or two to spare next Saturday—or even SIX hours!—why not pop along with the family and join in…
