Santa snaps wanted

SANTA will again visit Pakenham’s Main Street on Christmas Eve to spread some joy to shoppers.
Organised by Rosa from Mama Rosa Italian Restaurant and Pizza, Santa will travel around Pakenham via a horse and carriage between 11am and 2pm.
To mark the occasion, the Gazette and Rosa want your best photos of Santa travelling through the streets.
One lucky snapper will win a free family-sized pizza from Rosa’s restaurant.
All you need to do is send your photos to danielle.galvin@starnewsgroup.com.au or drop them into Rosa.
The best photo will be judged and the winner announced in the Gazette’s first edition of the New Year.
