The Mid-Autumn Festival was celebrated with love and joy at Maison Chance this year. A lantern competition preceded the celebrations which ensured participation from the young and old at Village Chance. Few days before the festival, several teams had gathered together to create the most beautiful lanterns.
The lantern-making invited fierce competition from all teams and everyone assuredly gave their very best. No rules were to limit the creativity of the participants. They were free to give any shape or color to their artwork. Lanterns were crafted with mostly wood and metal, with one of them exceeding expectations by attaching a motor to activate the wings of a bird.
