Goodie rewards follow frantic Christmas toy search

Olive Baylis, Riley Burgess and Frankie Joe Ashton received their goodie bags from Dean and Kieran from event sponsors AWC Windows and Home Improvements Ltd

Three young children each received a special goodie bag as thank-you’s when their names were drawn at random for helping in a community event.

Run by LSG Business Hub, this year the mischievous Elves caused chaos in Lees, Springhead and Grotton by ‘stealing’ one of Santa’s sacks and emptying the toys all over the villages.  

The children were asked to help Santa find all the toys and return them to his sack by writing down the name of the toy next to the business where it was found.

And when they’d found as many as possible, they returned their form to Lees Library, by Monday, December 19.

As a special thank you, the lucky winners - Olive Baylis (four), Riley Burgess (six) and Frankie Joe Ashton (seven) - received their goodie bags from Dean and Kieran from event sponsors AWC Windows and Home Improvements Ltd, who have recently moved to St John’s Industrial Estate in Lees.
