The decades old tradition of the Mangalo Christmas Tree attracted almost 60 children on Friday, 12 December.
The long running event provides an opportunity for the small farming community to gather in the Mangalo Memorial Hall.
The main event was a visit by Father Christmas with a gift for each of the children, thanks to sponsorship by Bendigo Bank and Crop Smart.
