Anyone looking for some Christmas inspiration need go no further than the Old Masonic Hall in Warkworth, from November 28 to December 4.
The Lions Club of Kowhai Coast is back after Covid with about 70 trees in its annual Treemendous exhibition.
The event is a major fundraiser for the club, which donates the proceeds to community projects. Pre-Covid, this was around $5000.
The trees are individually themed and this year, decorations will be for sale.
There will also be a trading table and raffles, Santa’s grotto and a show-stopping centre piece themed around Santa’s Workshop.
Club projects director Liz Price says club members are excited to be putting on the show again.
“It’s a good social activity for members and our reward is watching the children’s faces light up when they see the trees and play with the toys,” she says.
Treemendous will be open from 10am to 5pm Monday to Friday, from 10am to 3pm on Saturday, and from 10am to the close of the Santa Parade on Sunday. Entry is $3 for adults and $1 for children.
Price says the club is always keen to recruit new members.
“We do a lot of good work in the community and have a lot of fun doing it.”
