SANTA IS COMING TO HAWEA! Written by: Barb Mackenzie
Hawea is celebrating with a special Christmas Village and visits from Santa, at the Lake Hawea Community Centre, to get us all in the mood for the coming festive season. A village full of surprise and wonder, to delight and intrigue the young and old. This will be the largest display of Christmas in the Upper Clutha area. The village highlights include Dasher’s Den, Vixen’s AirBnB, Comet’s Train Set, Santa’s Station and many more. You enter through Prancer’s Pathway, made up of hundreds of tiny lights and visit Cupid’s Crafty Cottage, where you will marvel at the array of beautiful Christmas craft and enjoy the alternative view of 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'. Santa will play several instruments in Dancer’s Merry Music Shop, where children can also join in. See Comet’s Christmas Model Train Set, made especially for the village. The Elves’ Toy Shop will fascinate all ages.
Santa will be in his new sleigh, with his reindeer at the foot of the snow covered mountain, for Children’s photographs on Saturday and Sunday 5 and 6 December, in the morning and afternoon. Children will love the range of interactive activities available. After last year’s success with the Hawea Christmas House, Barbara and Elizabeth have been inspired to build something bigger and better. Like Santa they have been in the workshop for the whole year toiling away. The display will also be open on Tuesday and Thursday, 8 and 10 December and available for groups on request. Come and enjoy this wonderful spectacle with us. A Christmas Raffle is available at the Centre, with first prize being an heirloom quality quilt, featuring New Zealand red native flowers. The cost is $5.00 for adults, $2.00 for children and $10.00 for a family. Supported and sponsored by the Lake Hawea Community Centre.
