The Lions Club of Kowhai Coast will be tiptoeing through the tinsel soon when it opens the doors to Treemendous, its annual Christmas tree display and Christmas Shop in the old Masonic Hall.
As well as the 70 or so trees on display, there will be a shop selling decorations, a working train set and a toy display. Santa will also be putting in an appearance on weekdays from 3pm to 5pm, and on weekends, from 10am to midday.
The trees are normally decorated by Lions Club members, libraries and clubs such as the Embroiderers Guild, but this year, businesses have been invited to join in. The cost of a tree is $200 and the business with the tree voted the best by the public will win $250.
All funds raised from Tremendous this year will go to the Kowhai Coast Youth Trust, which provides financial support and resources to local young people and families in need. Last year, the event raised $6000, which was donated to the Warkworth Museum’s refurbishment programme.
The display is open daily, from 10am to 5pm, and will run from December 2 to 13. Entry is $5 for adults and $1 for children.
