On Monday, December 2, Mayor, Pierina Dalle Cort, lit up Home Hill with the flick of a switch that turned on Home Hill's Christmas tree for the very first time, at its cosy Comfort Stop location.
With the help of a great crowd attendance, Mayor Dalle Cort led a countdown from 10-1 before the lights flicked on and sparkled into action, much to the approval of the many people that turned out, and even a few truck drivers who drove past at the time honking their horns.
Despite the prospects of rain, it held off for this year’s Christmas tree lighting event to occur. Many people attended and supported the night by showing their Christmas cheer, with some even in costume or Christmas themed colours and outfits.
Santa Claus also made a surprise attendance on the evening, having plenty of photos taken with kids (big and small), by the tree once it was lit up. There was also a competition for guessing the number of lights, with the winners to be drawn at a later date.
Get along and check out the beautiful Home Hill Christmas tree, located at the Comfort Stop, on the Bruce Highway (next to Queensland Country Bank)
