Botany Shoppers on an Amazing Race
In June and July, Botany Town Centre opened its doors to 27 outstanding local families for The Great Botany Race.
Modeled on the Amazing Race, the event had those families competing against each other in six major challenges: three physical and three mental. For three Sundays leading up to the finals, shoppers came to the center to watch and participate, as did the local press.
The grand prize was a year’s pass to Rocket Ropes, and spot prizes were handed out for best team costume and fair play during the heats.
Participants raced up climbing walls, shot hoops and played the Price is Right, word and puzzle games. For the finals, the center organized all kinds of fun activities for the public. Madd Gear was on-hand for giveaways, and Team MGP was there for photos and signings. Soccer4Tots also got in on the fun.
