Pittsworth lights up for Christmas
Many Pittsworth residents are getting into the Christmas spirit, decorating their houses and businesses with decor and lights to celebrate the silly season and brighten up our town.
To recognise those who have gone the extra mile and to encourage everyone to get involved this festive season, the Pittsworth District Alliance held its annual Light Up For Christmas Competition, sponsored by Rotary.
This year there were five categories being judged - Light Up or Decorated Tree, Light Up House or Garden, Good Neighbours, Novice Award and Business.
The judges drove around town last Friday, December 10th, to decide on this year’s winners and place-getters, which they announced on Tuesday night at Christmas in the Park.
This year the winners are as follows:
