LAST year’s tree jumper winner Margaret Armstrong was busily constructing her latest masterpiece on Wednesday morning ahead of the start of the 11th annual Jumpers and Jazz Festival.
The Tannymorel local, who has entered the competition since the festival’s inception, came up with her theme, “Isn’t Jumpers and Jazz a Hoot” about six weeks ago.
“I was trying to come up with something Zen to go with this year’s theme, but I thought it would be too hard to interpret, so I chose to do our cute owls,” she said.
Winners of the tree jumper exhibition will be announced tomorrow night at the festival’s launch party.
