A spectrum of colours

Christmas cheer has arrived in Fraser Rise as a local family’s glowing display shines light on a good cause.

The Selle family has put on Christmas displays for five years, donating money raised by visitors to charity organisations.

Resident Patrick Selle said the show is very interactive.

“We started with a humble set up and every year it’s got better and better. We started introducing Santa visits on the weekends,” Mr Selle said.

“It was really just adding value back to the community. It’s always been for kids.”

This year’s display promises even grander moments with the family putting on a full light, sound and snow show.

“We’ve brought in some snow cannons from overseas we’re using… We’ve got penguins, we’ve got a lot of snowmen there,” Mr Selle said.

“People can come in, take a photo in our snow village.”

Mr Selle encouraged locals visiting the display to make a donation to the Royal Children’s Hospital via a fundraising campaign.

“Everyone’s welcome. We just want it to be for the community and a celebration for everyone,” he said.

The light, sound and snow shows run for ten minutes and begin at 8.30pm and 9.30pm at 7 Spectrum Drive, Fraser Rise, showing predominantly on Friday and Saturday nights.
