Tewantin turned on Christmas celebrations last Saturday morning and despite the wet weather there was no dampening of Christmas spirit in the town.
Entertainers took up their positions down Poinciana Avenue as visitors wandered the street to listen to an array of music and marvel at the skill of Miss Donna who delivered balloons of all shapes to the waiting wide-eyed children.
Performers included Fabian, Chris Ramsay, Andrea Kirwin, Amanda Jensen, Doo Wop Dolls, and Graeme Ransom as well as Miss Donna. Sadly the wet weather saw the cancellation of stilt walkers due to safety concerns.
However, Santa arrived during the morning to the delight of young and old alike.
Tewantin Traders Association president Barbara Sheriff said Christmas in Tewantin didn’t happen “without a lot of community spirit from Tewantin business owners“.
