There were free fun carnival games in the kid's play zone for the whole family. The kids received party packs, slush puppies and soft-serve ice cream. Families had a great time, and there were CARazy car deals.
Group 1 Auto The Glen celebrated their sixth birthday with a carnival and Cansa Shavathon. Wheel Well also joined for the day and accepted donations of pre-loved car seats.
There were free fun carnival games for the whole family in the kids’ play zone. The kids received party packs, slush puppies and soft-serve ice cream. Families had a great time and, of course, there were CARazy car deals.
Supporters of Group 1 Nissan and Renault The Glen entered the Group 1 ultimate braai challenge.
Local TikTok sensations, Mr & Mrs Big Bite, had a difficult time judging but, in the end, Herman and Tristan de Koker walked away with the title with their delicious boerie.
The visitors sampled the boerie rolls by all the entrants: M Cubed Corporate Business Solutions (who came in second), PandaRoc Energy Drink, FlexiDrive and Auto Enhance while listening to the talented Jazzy Vibes Band.
Entrants of the Mrs Soweto empowerment programme also attended with their families. Group 1 Renault The Glen is sponsoring a Renault Kiger for a year for the first official Mrs Soweto.
George Stegmann, dealer principal of Group 1 Nissan and Renault The Glen said they are a dealership that is very active in the community, and what better way to celebrate their sixth birthday than to give back to customers and also support their chosen charities?
“Remember that you can drop your pre-loved car seats throughout the year at Group 1 Nissan and Renault The Glen as Wheel Well collects on a regular basis. These will then be distributed to those in need who are unable to afford a car seat for their child,” said Stegmann.
Community fun developer of Cansa, Jalley Richardson, said they do these events to create awareness about cancer.
“During the event, people shaved or cut their hair, and that hair is going to be sent away to be made into wigs for our patients. If one did not want to cut their hair, they had the opportunity to get their hair sprayed to show that they support Cansa. This is a sort of emotional tribute to those who don’t have hair.
“I want to tell people that they should go and get checked, and I can’t emphasise it enough to men because they don’t get tested, and they don’t ever think it will happen to them, but it does.
“So please stay healthy and get yourself checked. If you have any questions or are worried about something, there is a toll-free number and a counselling line, and we are with you always,” said Richardson.
