As we are all aware, Christmas this year is not going to look like it normally does, so we thought we would like to bring a bit of extra festive cheer to Clarkston.
There will be a series of 9 features for you to wander around Clarkston to find, each one different from the others. Some of the eagle-eyed among you may already have noticed a few of them already which have been in progress. Over the course of the week, more will be added so keep your eyes peeled!
This has been such a lovely community effort to be involved in, with so many businesses and individuals donating their materials, skills, expertise, and precious time. Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed, you are all so generous and community-spirited, it has really been lovely and over the next week or two, you’ll hear more about them.
Below is a list of locations where the features will be placed, more detail will be added during the course of the week. Feel free to share any that you spot and let us know what you think.
