This was the third year running we had held a Christmas Tree Festival and 2004 excelled the previous two for innovative themes and decorations.
Participants representing Charities, Businesses or individuals just interested in displaying their talents took part, putting on a wonderful display to enchant the public in the run up to Christmas.
Over 200 people visited the festival over two days and their generosity helped raise over £860 for Church funds.
Visitors were asked to vote for their favourite tree and prizes were given to the two most popular entries.
