Illawarra Dve dazzles Christmas crowds

Club members handed out more than 2000 lollipops to children and had a barbecue running during the four-day event, which ran from Sunday, December 21, to Wednesday, December 24.

Lions club member Geoff Crossman said the club was grateful to all those who made the event possible.

“We just wanted to thank the Lions members that helped out and all the homes that put lights up,” he said.

“The last night, Christmas Eve, was unbelievable. Lots of cars and that, but so many people walked too, they parked outside and walked.”

All donations from the event will be used by the Lions club to support future community projects and local groups.
