Crowds lined the footpaths on both sides of Baxter and Queen Streets in Warkworth on December 7 to be entertained by this year’s Santa Parade.
In what was one of the largest parades in recent times, the floats were led by the town crier riding in a nifty red sports car followed closely by the Warkworth Pipe Band. Santa and Mrs Claus brought up the rear.
Muddy Toes Early Childhood Centre won both the Education Sector and the People’s Choice awards, while Tree King’s float won the business section and The Mob & Razza Dazzlers won the community section.
Hunting & Fishing, The Bridgehouse, Nature’s Nest and Keith Hay Homes were thanked for their sponsorship of the float winners.
The winner of the Keith Hay Homes playhouse was Nars Holden, of Warkworth.
Parade organisers One Mahurangi thanked major sponsors Warkworth Toyota, Warkworth Barfoot & Thompson and Rodney Local Board.
It also thanked Warkworth Rotary, Warkworth Big Band, Buckton Consulting Surveyors and Northland Waste for their support.
