September 9, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Planning has begun for the South Burnett’s unique “Christmas Spirit” initiative, organised by Council CEO Mark Pitt and his wife Nicola.<\/p>\n

The project was launched in 2019 with the introduction of “Santa Claus Lane” (co-operating neighbours decorating their houses), expanding in 2021 to include “Santa\u2019s Workshop” (for businesses).<\/p>\n

Last year, the “Christmas Cottage” category was added to allow solo residences to be eligible for judging.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile there will be no monetary prize, we will be presenting a perpetual trophy to the winners of the Christmas Cottage and individual trophies to winners of the Santa\u2019s Workshop in each area at the December Council ordinary meeting,” Mr Pitt said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The winners of Santa Claus Lane will be presented on site with the annual fingerboard.”<\/p>\n

Nicola said the Christmas Spirit initiative was about celebrating the joy of Christmas in the community, encouraging neighbours to connect.<\/p>\n

“Stay tuned for further announcements on the release date of the competition entry forms,\u201d Mrs Pitt said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
