All fired up for Christmas

IT’S that time of year again when the man in the big red suit comes to town and this year instead of arriving in the sleigh he is hitching a ride in a fire truck with the Pakenham CFA.
Santa is ready to attend your end of year parties or breakups and is available for all functions in the Pakenham area. With Christmas fast approaching he is set for a busy few weeks.
Santa and the truck will be available for hire for your event by calling Pakenham CFA auxiliary secretary Kylie Rosier on 0414 633 977.
