Movement to ‘Light up Noosa’

One Noosa resident is making it her mission to ‘light up Noosa’ to bring the community together in solidarity against Coronavirus.

Katrina Boyd is asking the community to hang up their Christmas lights nine months early to bring some cheer to the shire.

“I want to start the Christmas light movement,” Ms Boyd said.

“It’s such a sucky time, so tonight I thought to myself, ‘you know what, i’m going to put my Christmas lights on’.

“Every time I look at Christmas lights, it doesn’t matter where I am, lights that are flashing with colours, wrapped around trees or whatever it may be, I’m thinking ‘I freaking love it’.

Ms Boyd expressed that she’s sick of all the negativity that we have been faced with in 2020 so far, saying it’s unavoidable.

“So let’s light this place up, get your Christmas lights out, put them on your house and get it going, have some colour and let’s start the movement.

“Any time you look at Christmas lights, you’re smiling.

“So let’s go guys, let’s see where we can take it,” Ms Boyd said.
