The competition saw 19 entries over three categories. Forbes North Public School and Forbes Public School shared first prize for Innovation, Mitre 10 won the Best Display, followed closely by Allure On Main. The Viewers’ Choice saw 35.9% of votes for News On Rankin. Congratulations to everyone for their great displays and all of the effort that they put in.

Debbie Beer from Robbs Jewellers drew ticket number six from the bin. The winner received their tickets from Little Extras Lifestyle. The big draws are on 24 December. Tim Redfern of Lachlan Readymix Concrete has generously donated one of his trucks for the Christmas Eve major draws. There will be 10 $500, one $1,500, two $2,500 and one $5,000 prizes drawn out of the truck from 11.30am onwards. Come to the corner of Battyee Lane and Rankin Streets to witness the fun.

The Forbes Business Chamber is pleased to partner with Forbes Shire Council to deliver this activity to the community,” said Marg Duggan President of Forbes Business Chamber.
