Sign for a slab

THE Pakenham Hall sign is in safe hands.
The Gazette can confirm reports the sign – thought to be lost in the rubble of the demolished building – is safe and sound in the shed of a long time Pakenham resident.
The resident, who does not want to be named, said saving the sign was no mean feat.
“I was walking past and saw the sign in the rubble, I yelled to a guy on the work site that I wanted it and he named his price – a slab of beer,” the resident said.
“So I went and bought a slab and the exchange was made.”
