And the winner of the Best Christmas Lights is…

/

Matt, Daneale and Zara Buckley of Kidz Retreat.

Kidz Retreat was very honoured to win the $500.00 from S & K Electrical. Their main reason for putting a light display up is for their daughter Zara, and were overwhelmed with the response from the community. 

Matt and Daneale have decided to add another $500 from their own pocket and donate this and their $500 winnings to a child friendly organisation. They and their staff will put together a list of possible organisations and will get the parents who use Kidz Retreat to vote on which one they think it should go towards.

Congratulations Kidz Retreat for a great Christmas Lights Display and well done on your wonderful gesture of passing on the winnings to a worthy organisation.
