A 30-metre spine complete with 24 vertebrae won the People’s Choice and Most Innovative Award at the Jennian Warkworth Santa Parade on December 1. The float was entered by Boost Chiropractic.
Altogether, 25 clubs, businesses and community organisations entered floats, attracting a crowd of around 3500.
The parade is organised One Warkworth. Manager Murray Chapman said it was a great day, although there was room for growth in the parade, with only one crèche and one school involved.
He said the change from Saturday to Sunday worked well, and would be repeated next year.
The best community float went to the Warkworth Lions, while the best business float was awarded to One Warkworth.
Murray thanked Jennian Homes Rodney for sponsoring the parade and giving the committee the financial freedom to put on a great event for the community. Jennian held a prize draw for a playhouse that received more than 2000 entries, which was awarded to Vanessa Langman of Wharehine.
