Rural residents ‘jingle all highways’ this festive season
The Western Downs has been dazzled with Christmas cheer this Christmas, with rural households taking part in the ‘Christmas Where the Gumtrees Grow’ competition.
As part of the competition, Council encouraged rural residents to decorate their property entrances or letterboxes in festive cheer for a chance to win fantastic prizes sourced from local businesses.
Western Downs Regional Council Mayor Paul McVeigh said the initiative generated community pride across the region.
“Christmas is all about our community coming together and celebrating with friends and family and this competition is about spreading the festive spirit far and wide across our region,” Cr McVeigh said.
