Who Is Rudolph Hass?
Many moons ago a man by the name of Rudolph planted a tiny cutting from his neighbour's tree. The tree grew avocados.

Now Rudolph Hass' avocados are the most popular, and they all came from the one tree! Play our game inspired by Mr Hass; plant the seed in the right hole to win a prize! It's good to know where your food comes from.

At this point you have two options: your friends can trace around
your shadow, and colour you in to make your life size portrait, or you can sit for longer and be drawn in miniature by our resident artist. What ever the outcome, you will go home with a life like silhouette of your very best side.
