Name that DRAGON!!

Young residents and families have the chance to win a fantastic ‘Roar and Snore’ adventure prize from Taronga Zoo in a competition to help Council name its sustainability mascot.
Penrith City Mayor Greg Davies said that the Eastern Water Dragon is the City’s mascot for sustainability and is used to brand the Sustainable Penrith program.
“Council chose the dragon as a mascot because it lives along the banks of local waterways and represents Penrith City’s environmental, social and economic health,” Councillor Davies said.
“Our mascot is a bit sad at the moment because no one thought to give it a name.
“Council is asking you to help it name our friendly dragon and go into the draw to win a great prize. It is also important that the name has some meaning or connection to the local area so put your thinking caps on.”
To enter, complete an entry form including your suggestion and return it to Council to be in with a chance to win tickets for a family of four to Taronga Zoo’s ‘Roar and Snore’ adventure.
The prize includes overnight camping accommodation, meals and special behind the scenes access and tours through Taronga Zoo, valued at $550.
The competition will run until 29 February with the winner announced at an official name giving ceremony next march.
Entry forms are available at Council offices, www.penrithcity.nsw.gov.au or by calling telephone 4732 8050.
