A Tiny Trees section has been added to the popular Tree Awamutu Christmas community event this year. Children have an oppor- tunity to create their own 30cm high Christmas tree, which will be added to the pop-up Christmas Tree For- est. Tree Awamutu co- ordinator Jamie Budd says the Tiny Trees section is all about showcasing the creativity, personality and passion of each individual child — they can create a tree based on their passion or interest, such as music, sport or hobbies. It is open in two age categories (5-8 years, 9-12 years). Guest judges will choose winners from each cat- egory and there will be a people’s choice award. “Tree Awamutu is all about serving our commun- Waipa¯ Christian School students, from left, April Hight (7), ben Donovan (8), Wighart Six-year-old Amelia Hight (left) and Amy Daczo (11) add ity and helping to make this Tucker (5) and Joshua Godwin (12) work on Tiny Tree creations.
