In 2008, Lake Macquarie became the first Australian city to participate in the International Children's Games and in 2010 the council won the bid to host the 48th Summer International Children's Games.
Now, nearly four years later, there are 100 days to go until the world comes Down Under for the first International Children's Games to be hosted in the southern hemisphere.
To celebrate this milestone, the council is hosting a School Torch Relay that will see students from 26 schools across the city run from Warners Bay Lions Park to Speers Point Park.
To mark the end of the relay, Speers Point Park will come to life with fun and entertainment featuring the incredibly talented song competition winner Mia Sifflet performing the Games theme song, Never Give Up.
A tremendous amount of hard work has gone into the preparations for the games and without the help of the volunteers, committee members and our sponsors this event would not be possible.
I hope you share in the excitement and I encourage you to come along to celebrate the 100-day mark at Speers Point Park tomorrow, Thursday, August 28.
