It is time to make Byron cheerful for Christmas and members of the Uniting Church sewing group, together with friends and volunteers, have been busy creating handmade bunting to encourage local retailers to decorate their windows and help make Byron shine this Christmas.
‘Our message is simple: Tidy up, decorate up and cheer up! We would love Byron’s retailers, businesses and wider community to join us,’ said the group.
‘Can we come together and make Byron shine this Christmas?’
If you would like to help, or would like handmade bunting for your shop window, contact Stephanie Rake on 0427 640 647.
