Peninsula resident wins trailer prize

A Peninsula resident has won over $1800 worth of prizes in last year's Kariong-Somersby Rotary trailer raffle.

A Mr Dyer of Woy Woy received first prize at the club's Carols by Candlelight on December 22, held at Mt Penang.

He received a new box trailer filled with garden and landscaping items, including chainsaw, blower, lawn mower, compost bin, line trimmer and wheel barrow.

The funds raised from the raffle will go towards polio eradication, breast cancer research and other Rotary community projects.

"The winning ticket was drawn by Santa Claus who arrived courtesy of the local Kariong Fire Brigade at the Concert and Carols by Candlelight held at Mt Penang," public relations director Mr Peter Mulholland said.

"Although early showers deterred many expected visitors, around 200 residents and visitors enjoyed the delayed event, which featured Brisbane Water Brass Band, the Sing Australia Gosford Choir and Whipcracking by Gary Kirkby."
