From 5.30pm-8.30pm, festive fun will take over the main street as part of the Eden retailers’ annual Christmas on Imlay promotion.
Between Santa photos in the empty shop next to Sweet Shoes & Handbags, fairy floss, the Essci chocolate wheel, face painting, balloon sculptures, a giant slide, jumping castles and the Campbell Page airbrush tattoos, there’s plenty to keep the littlies entertained.
Then there are variety stalls, woodchopping events, the Essci and Kiah Hall Committee barbecues, free sporting activities run by local clubs and a performance from the Sapphire Coast Concert Band.
But perhaps the most eagerly anticipated parts of the night are the three, $1000 ‘Eden cash’ voucher draws, the IGA Eden Grocery Grab and the stocking raffle draw.
Anyone who has spent $5 or more at any of the 46 participating retailers in the last month will be in the draw to win a voucher, which can be spent at any participating retailer, each hour from 6pm-8pm.
The fun and mayhem of the IGA Eden Grocery Grab will take centre stage at 7.30pm, with one shopper given the chance to scoot around the aisles and snaffle as many goods as they can inside the time limit.
