NATIVITY SHEEP TRAIL

Come join the fun this festive season by participating in a community activity called the Nativity Sheep Trail. The Nativity Sheep Trail is designed to bring people into local businesses and to share the Christmas story. Participating shops in Mossman will have a cute little sheep, wearing a name tag, displayed somewhere in their business. They will also have entry forms and will display a poster at the front of their shop. The idea being that families and children will pick up an entry form, follow the trail through town, visit the participating businesses, find all the sheep and record their names on the entry form. A box at Bartolos shop will be provided for completed entry forms to be deposited. All entries that have the correct names will go into the draw to win a family Christmas Gift Basket. The Nativity Sheep Trail will run from Tues 25th November to Thurs 18th December and the draw will take place at the Community Carols under the Raintrees on Sun 21st Dec. If not present at the draw the winner will be notified by phone. Come and support your local community and see if you can find all the sheep!!!
