After a testing year, the Cooroy community is looking forward to the upcoming Christmas celebration, especially young Ashton who is already searching for Santa.

Cooroy Chamber of Commerce president Chris Bell said Ashton and his mother dropped into the Cooroy Memorial Hall on Saturday as they were decorating the trees.

“He was looking for Santa and to this effect, he will be back again Friday to have his photo taken. In the meantime, he settled for a hug with one of the reindeer,“ Chris said.

The Cooroy Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to spreading some Christmas spirit around the community with late night trading in Cooroy from 5.30pm to 8pm on Friday 4 December.

Most of the local retailers are on board and are keen to welcome shoppers with special offers and promotions. Bring the kids down town to enjoy the entertainment during the evening.
