Rotorua's Christmas Tree will look better this year!!!
Hi neighbours,
Last year's public tree left a lot to be desired.
But this year's is bound to look better thanks to local weaver Anna Hayes.
Hayes, from the newly opened Maori Weaving Rotorua, has woven 16 metres of harakeke rope and 30 muka ties, from which locally made wooden decorations will hang.
Hayes learnt the craft in Rotorua and said she was pleased to be contributing towards the tree.
The tree will be fully decked out and looking bright and festive this year and a small ceremony will be held under the tree at 7pm on Thursday, December 1 to mark the tree lights being switched on.
