PAKENHAM Business Group members spread the Easter cheer on Saturday – thanking shoppers for spending up in Pakenham.
Business group vice-president Michael Porter said nine members of the group spent two-and-a-half hours in the main street handing out chocolate eggs.
“It was just a way for us to thanks people for shopping in town,” he said.
“It was pretty well received too.”
