McDonald's lights up New Norfolk

A CROWD estimated at several hundred attended tonight's celebration of the official opening at McDonald's New Norfolk. The event was the most elaborate opening for a local business and the impressive fireworks display was probably the best ever seen in New Norfolk.

Bushy Park girl Brianna Fenton won the right to set off the fireworks display via a competition run in association with Hobart radio station Sea FM. There were reports of the fireworks been seen from as far as Magra.

Derwent Valley mayor Martyn Evans performed the official opening with McDonald's New Norfolk licensee John Barry-Murphy. Company mascot Ronald McDonald was on hand and there was musical entertainment and square-dancing.

The fireworks display lasted for about 20 minutes

    It was a very, very impressive fireworks display, made even better by the fact we could see it from close up instead of being a kilometre or more away as is usual with city displays. Well done!
