Sword Fighters Australia was once again proud to be involved with the Fun4Kids Festival in Warrnambool.

Over 10,000 children and parents visited the event, with so much activity and so many different choices!.

A Full Days outing for the kids, and a great experience of shows, dance acts, play areas, entertainers, rides, prizes, animal petting, rock climbing, creative areas, woodwork, painting and toy making, balloon toys and of course Fencing! 

Sword Fighter Fencing sessions were a very popular session and ran continuously 10-5pm daily.

Even some unexpected enthusiasts!  

Thanks to South West Tafe students for their great work during the festival week.
