Christmas lights up local homes

CHRISTMAS lights have sprung up all over the region, allowing locals to get into the spirit of the season.


The lights of Christmas can be seen all over the region as locals embrace the festive spirit and enter the Mareeba and Tablelands annual Christmas Lights Competitions. For Guido and Helen Vit, of 2 Fourth Avenue, Atherton, this will be the 16th time they have entered the annual competition. Helen and her great granddaughter Skylar (pictured) spent some time admiring their hard work, with hopes their efforts will win the Tablelands competition.

Tablelands Regional Council’s Christmas Lights Competition received 35 entries this year, with the winners to be announced on Thursday.

Mayor Rod Marti is encouraging residents to get out across the region and see the nominated houses and streets by following the Tablelands Christmas Lights Trail.

“It’s great that yet again our community is full of Christmas cheer and keen to show off their fantastic light displays,” he said.

“Residents invest a lot of time and effort, as well as creativity, into making this a very special time of year — so grab your friends and family and tour the Tablelands so you don’t miss out on the spectacle of these sparkling displays.

“A big thanks to The Express for sponsoring the competition.”

Participants are asked to be considerate of others and ensure lights are turned off by 10pm each night.

Mareeba Shire was also very happy with the number of entrants this year, with 30 entries.

Mayor Angela Toppin encourages residents to get out and enjoy the Christmas Lights Trail.

“This event really contributes to the community spirit and the annual Christmas lights drive by has become a tradition for many families,” she said.

The winners of Mareeba Shire’s competition will be revealed on Friday.
