Woodstock Christian School’s annual Springfest once again brought families, friends, and community members together on April 18, as the Oxford Auditorium filled with activity from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The free community event offered a lively mix of food, games, shopping, and entertainment, creating a welcoming atmosphere for visitors of all ages. Guests were greeted with the aroma of simmering pots as the popular chilli cook-off returned, inviting attendees to taste, compare, and vote for their favourite recipes. Nearby, the bake sale tables were lined with homemade treats that sold steadily throughout the day. The mom to mom sale drew a strong crowd, with families browsing gently used clothing, toys, and household items. Outside, children flocked to the petting zoo, where they interacted with friendly animals, while the bouncy castles and game stations kept the younger crowd entertained for hours. Volunteers, staff, and students worked together to ensure the event ran smoothly, offering a warm welcome to every visitor who passed through the doors. The combination of food, family activities, and community spirit made this year’s Springfest one of the most memorable yet.
