Christmas tree competition

So my town every year has a pallet tree decorating competition, each business buys a Christmas tree cutout made of wood to decorate and put in their windows. The public is encouraged to vote for their favourite and although there are literally hundreds of trees this year I've only photographed a portion that I've seen. 


These ones are outside one of the local cafes where one of the organisations "Bald Angels" is run from. There is more information about their worthy cause here but basically they support children and youth throughout the region.


This one decorated with tinsel  and poinsettia is in the window of one of the shoe shops called Shoe Styles


We have 2 health shops in town, this is one of them called Hardy's but it looks like they have 2 trees in their window.


This one clearly advertises what business it belongs to - one of the two optometrists in town.


Yes we have bagels here, not my thing but this one shows a fun side to Santa, his elf and a reindeer outside a shop that makes and sells them.


They also have this grinch Christmas pallet in their front window.


This one covered in shoes, jandals and sandals is in the window of one of the many clothing shops. This one is calle eKo.


Last one seen by me is covered in kiwiana icons that are loved by many New Zealanders such as onion soup (we use it to make dip for chips), marmite and pineapple lumps in the window of Swift Conveyancing.

Journey

  The local railway station is usually very busy. Every day it rocks in to drop off and pick up passengers for the Tranz Alpine from Greymou...
