Light up for festive season
What better way to get into the Christmas spirit than to make your home or business sparkle in the Whanganui Light Up Your Home event?
The ever-popular competition is proudly sponsored by Versatile, and promises to be a memorable and glittering three weeks.
The family-oriented event will run from Sunday, December 1 to Tuesday, December 24, and during this time contestants must have their Christmas lights turned on between 9pm and 11pm. Apart from the myriad of families and visitors who enjoy the twinkling displays, mystery judges could be passing by at any moment during the promotional period.
Whanganui Chronicle senior sales specialists and Versatile Light Up Your Home organiser David Shaw says this is to make sure that each house is seen to its full effect, and will allow them to be seen more than once during the judging period. In previous years, judges have toured all of the houses on one designated night. There are five categories, with some great prizes to be won.
Entry is free, and open to the wider Whanganui region. You still have time to enter your house, garden or business in this year’s event — just make sure you get your entries in to the Whanganui Chronicle by midday on Friday, November 29. If you can’t get your entry into the office call David on 06 349 0710 ext 50858.
“It is such wonderful family entertainment, and guaranteed to get you in the Christmas spirit,” says David.
