11/12/2008

STAFF at Darren Spargo’s Pakenham Photo Barn are getting into the festive spirit.
Photo Barn’s, in Main Street, has decorated its windows with festive flair as part of a Pakenham Business Group promotion.
The business in the 3810 postcode judged to have the best Christmas decorations will be awarded $500 cash, or $600 if the trader is a PBG member.
The winner of the competition, to be judged by Australian Idol finalist Sophie Paterson, will be announced on Wednesday 17 December.
