Light up your town 2019 winners announced

Central Highlands Regional Council’s annual Christmas light competition ‘Light up your town’ winners have been announced.

Entries were opened for a short period only, but this did not affect the entry numbers of this popular competition, attracting fifty entries from across the region.

‘I’m quite sure this competition has become a community favourite,’ Mayor Kerry Hayes said.

‘We love our Christmas lights and every year the decorations mean that people open their homes to strangers and bring people together.
