Ms Elijah said she was looking forward to the 'Celebrate Christmas in Camperdown' event.
“We have 27 stores in the promotion,” she said.
“We’re looking forward to it, I love Christmas.
“It’s always a popular weekend with families.”
Entrants in this year’s treasure hunt will go into the draw for a number of prizes which include:
• A bike;
• Lolly hamper;
• Bluey prize pack;
