Poland Dobbins celebrated its annual Father-Daughter Night on Feb. 25.
The theme of this year’s Father-Daughter Night was Winter Wonderland Carnival. This is a free event that is sponsored by the PTO every year for the daughters and their fathers or other significant male in their life. The activities set up were carnival activities themed around winter and snow.
“We had 105 girls come with their dads. There are five stations: a snowball toss, an ice rink relay race, a craft, a Minute to Win it game and a photobooth and DJ, along with dancing, food and desserts,” said Tiffany Martin, a PTO member and organizer of the Father-Daughter Night.
The girls and their fathers were put into different groups and each of the groups took turns participating in the stations. For the ice rink relay race, everyone wore plastic bags on their feet to use as ice skates and skate across the carpet putting snow into containers.
The second activity was a snowball toss where one person held a bucket and the other had to toss snowballs in the basket. The crafts that were being made were for the pictures from the photobooth. The craft was like a frame for the photobooth strip pictures. The couples could use different props for their photobooth pictures.
The Minute to Win it game was one of the favorites. The daughters had one hand tied to their father’s hand and they could only use one hand to fill up a container with snow.
Food, drinks and desserts were available for the daughters and their fathers when they got hungry and wanted to take a break. A DJ was on hand, playing music for everyone to dance to.
The PTO begins organizing the event after Christmas. PTO members and other volunteers help the night run smoothly for the daughters and their fathers.
