Maleny Commerce is backing the hard hit hinterland hospitality sector with a competition sure to raise spirits. 

President Nicole Hilton said one lucky winner will receive $100 credit at a café or restaurant of their choice.  

“All you have to do is pick from the list of 20 mouthwatering options on our site, malenycommerce.org.au.”

Ms Hilton said there had been an incredible response to the contest. “In 24 hours we had over 100 votes already. What we did not expect is all the beautiful feedback we are receiving for the businesses. I created a post with some of the lovely words and shared it as well.  All these are on our Maleny Commerce Facebook  page.”

Jennepher Bucher of Maleny Cheese said the contest was a welcome morale-booster after a tough period.  “We had just recovered from a fire in September 2018,” she said. “We put staff back on, and then nine months later this happens and we had to let them go again.”
