Stawell Gift Hall of Fame gets fresh upgrades ahead of Easter weekend

Out with the blue and the running man, and in with some fresh new detail - the facade will be drawing passer-by's eyes as the drive along Seaby Street.

Stawell Athletic Club president Geoff McDermott said the street appeal was something the committee had in mind when deciding on the upgrades.

"We wanted everyone who drove past to think wow I must go in and see that," he said.

"We do have some concerns about people looking at the upgrades and not watching a road especially as they come up to the corner or the intersection if they are heading towards the highway."

Mr McDermott said it was about first impressions for visitors.

"We also want to invest some money into revamping the Hall of Fame on the inside," he said.

"Things like better display cabinets and trying to tell the history better - there is a lot memorabilia. We've got a big job ahead but it's an important one for the history of Stawell."
