Easter tradition
THE Hengstberger girls spread Easter cheer in Leongatha for the 33rd year in a row.
Val Pistrucci and Nola Sneddon begin the tradition for their grandmother Evelyn Smith, who lived in Woorayl Lodge.
They visited her at Easter but found they had nothing to talk to her about, so they dreamed up a way to bring a bit of fun into her life.
Their grandmother died four years later but they have continued the tradition ever since, Ms Pistrucci even travelling home from South Australia for the occasion.
They walk around Leongatha in festive Easter costumes, distributing Easter eggs and hugs.
The Hengstberger sister thank the Lions Club of Leongatha, Woorayl Lodge Ladies’ Auxiliary, Leongatha Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Ken and Faye Olcorn at Leongatha Lunch Works and their mum, Freda Morris, for their support.
