Is your tinsel looking tired? Are you bored with your baubles? Never fear – inspiration is at hand next month, when up to 70 different decorated Christmas trees will be on display at the Old Masonic Hall in Baxter Street, Warkworth.
The annual Treemendous Christmas tree event is being staged once again by the Lions Club of Kowhai Coast, whose members are currently busily designing and decorating a raft of different themes to display from Saturday, December 2 until Sunday, December 10.
As well as the trees themselves, there is a wide range of other festive decorations, from soft toys and snowmen to wooden toys, wreaths and illuminated animals.
There is also a popular toy train that wends its way around the display space, as well as trading tables, raffles and regular visits from the jolly man in red. Santa will be there in his grotto from 2pm to 5pm from Monday to Friday, from 10am to 12 noon and 1pm to 2pm on Saturdays, or by arrangement.
Treemendous is one of the Kowhai Lions’ main fundraisers of the year and organisers say that although it is a lot of work, it is always worth it to see the joy on young visitors’ faces.
Entry costs $3 for adults and $1 for children and this year, all proceeds will go to the Auckland Westpac Rescue Helicopter service. The display will be open from 10am to 5pm daily, and 10am to 3pm on Saturdays.
