100 Years Celebrated with Christmas Laneway Festival Fundraiser

As many within First National’s family would be aware, FN King & Heath (Bairnsdale, Lakes Entrance, Metung, Paynesville, VIC) celebrated a century of providing real estate services in Victoria’s Lakes District last year. 

The office’s celebrations culminated with its support of the Bairnsdale Christmas Festival @ Laneway on 9 December, where there was free family entertainment, market stalls, live music, food trucks, and a visit from Santa. 

Collaborating with the Bairnsdale Chamber of Commerce & Industry, FN King & Heath staff served up a sausage sizzle and donated the profits to Bairnsdale Neighbourhood House
