Omaruru — The municipality of Omaruru and the NCCI Omaruru Branch have teamed up to do a season’s service for the whole Municipality. A large selection of Christmas ornaments in the streets of Omaruru have been commissioned by the Municipality to be finished and mounted in this city by or before the 1st of December, and the Cham-ber and the Municipality have worked together to create the centerpiece of the town’s Christmas celebration: a 7.5 meter tall Christ-mas Tree with star on top made entirely from strings of lights raised in the center of town, in front of Spar and directly across from the Post Office on Main Street.
