The Christmas tree display in the Warkworth Town Hall known as Treemendous, which finished on December 4, raised $5000.
Organised by Kowhai Coast Lions, the money will be donated to a community organisation, which will be decided at a meeting early next year.
Previous recipients have included the Westpac Helicopter and Kawau Coastguard. Club projects director Liz Price says although the club puts on the display as a fundraiser, it is also “all about the kids”.
“Our reward is seeing how much fun the kids get out of the display,” she says.
“The train was a particular hit this year with lots of children lying on their tummies, thrilled when it came through the tunnel.”
Price thanked Lions members, past and present, for their support.
