Electric avenues for Christmas charity

Home and business entries are in, now it’s up to Marlborough to pick their favourite Christmas lights of the year.

The Ray White Christmas Lights competition is back for 2024, and Ray White Blenheim’s Karina Taylor says it’s always amazing to see houses, and newly this year businesses, come to life with their Christmas decorations.

“We love to do this every year, getting the community involved in picking their favourites, and therefore the overall best, and bring a bit of Christmas joy to the community and charities”, says Karina.

“Entrants have picked their charities as part of entering, so prize money for the top three homes and top business is split between the winners and their chosen charities with such a variety of worthwhile entries to support”.
