The annual Murgon Christmas Fair had fun for all the family … including these colourful characters who spent the night wandering the streets<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

December 14, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christmas is a time for giving and in Murgon, this also means giving back … \u00a0the town’s popular annual Christmas Fair is designed to be a giant “thank you” to local residents from local businesses.<\/p>\n

Seventy businesses banded together for the promotion, many providing gifts or coupons for giveaways as well as stumping up the cash to make the festival a reality.<\/p>\n

There were subsidised rides and a giant slide for the kids, wandering entertainers, the Wondai Town Band and, of course, Santa.<\/p>\n

This is the 19th year that the Murgon Business Association Christmas Fair Committee has organised the evening of entertainment which fills Lamb Street.<\/p>\n

It costs about $20,000 to stage and is totally sponsored by local businesses.<\/p>\n

A highlight this year was a $6000 Grab For Cash where 15 lucky shoppers had the chance to select\u00a0a Christmas stocking from a wheel and win a share in “Murgon cash” to be spent at any of the 70 participating stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
