Sutton’s Christmas Extravaganza

Seventeen businesses based in the Ashfield District displayed their wares at the LEO Christmas Extravaganza, held at the Idlewells Shopping Centre in Sutton in Ashfield on Friday 27th and Saturday 28th November.

The event, organised by LEO, was designed to help newly established businesses to reach out to potential customers, and promote the ‘shop local’ message in Ashfield.

There was a steady flow of visitors, as local people sought inspiration for Christmas gifts for family, friends – and, it seems, for themselves.

Each of the seventeen businesses donated a prize for a grand raffle, which was drawn on Saturday – sending seventeen lucky visitors home with an unexpected extra Christmas treat.
