Trees at last year’s exhibition.
Members of Rotary Ipomoea are inviting residents to make and decorate a Christmas tree for exhibition in their 9th community Christmas Tree Festival.
There are no restrictions on the theme of your tree, it could reflect your organisation, the festive season or have a Christmas message. For example, a school could choose classes to make paper decorations for a tree to reflect their school’s recent projects or messages for the people of Forbes at Christmas.
There are also no size or material restrictions. It’s requested a Christmas greeting is placed on or under your tree from your family or organisation.
