BUZZ Lightyear flew into Cardwell Garden Centre for a weekend of fun themed around the new Toy Story movie release.

Thousands of visitors came from infinity and beyond for the centre's Summer Buzz Garden Party.

They enjoyed lots of games but the main attraction was, of course, the chance to meet Buzz.

There was plenty to keep the little ones entertained with a Toy Story themed treasure hunt and a chance to win a special goody bag, plus face painting, a bouncy castle, Hook the Duck and Hoopla along with an outdoor barbecue.

Cardwell’s retail general manager Paul Carmichael said the weekend event was a big hit.

He told the Tele: “It was one of our busiest ever weekend events.

"With the new Toy Story 4 movie in cinemas just now, it was obvious Buzz Lightyear is a really popular cartoon character with the kids.

“As soon as the Buzz Lightyear mascot landed at the garden centre, the youngsters swarmed round him giving him high fives and hugs.

"And when they pressed one of the red buttons on his spacesuit, Buzz gave them a dance routine.

“He really impressed the youngsters with his version of The Floss!”
