Shops prize their festive trimming

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.
