Wooly wonders hidden around Te Awamutu for the Hunt The Sheep Trail.

Wooly wonders hidden around Te Awamutu for the Hunt The Sheep Trail.

Remember the Great Teddy Bear Hunt during lockdown? In England a Christmas version of the Teddy Bear Hunt has been gathering followers over the past few years.

The brainchild of creative Messy Church-er Jane Leadbetter, Messy Nativity is a "Hunt the Sheep Trail" that pops up during Advent - the four weeks leading up to Christmas.

Talented friends of St John's Anglican Parish have created a wonderful woolly selection of sheep which are hiding in the following places: Anatoloia Turkish Kebabs, CTR Photography, Paper Plus, Ray White Real Estate, Red Kitchen, Sabor Café, Save Lots, the StoreRoom, Te Awamutu Frames, Te Awamutu i-Site, Te Awamutu Library, The Warehouse and the St John's Anglican Church.

Each sheep-in-hiding will have its own name attached.

Your task is to find all the sheep and record their names on the form which the retailer can give you.
