It was a damp Santa Parade in Warkworth earlier this month, but that didn’t stop thousands of people from lining Baxter and Queen Streets to enjoy the spectacle.
A record number of floats participated, with everything from vintage cars to moving spines on display.
Organiser One Mahurangi thanked sponsors, participants and the crowd for making it such a success.
A downpour forced the cancellation of the prizegiving ceremony, so winners were announced on social media after the parade. The coveted People’s Choice Award went down to the wire, with only two votes separating the first and second choices. The eventual winner was Trinity Chiropractic just pipping Muddy Toes at the post.
Category winners were:
Community winner – Mahurangi Under 5 Rippa Rugby; special mention, Warkworth Lions and the Warkworth Scout Group.
Business category winner – Placemakers Warkworth; special mentions, Mitre10 and Trinity Chiropractic.
Education – Muddy Toes Warkworth; special mentions, Natures Nest and Kindercare.
