GEORGE NEWS & VIDEO - What started as quite a windy day, turned into a beautiful evening of carols by candlelight at Redberry Farm on Wednesday evening, 21 December.

Hundreds of people from across George lit their candles around their picnic baskets and sang along to the beautiful Christmas carols led by band members from various churches, Kelly-Jane Arthur and local artist Michael Lindt.

The evening was hosted by the Good News Bible Church and Christ Church George. All proceeds from the evening will be donated to Options Care Centre in George.
