2003 Community Christmas Party & Float Parade

From 5pm this evening, the main street of town was taken over by the annual Christmas Party. This year's entertainment included music, food stalls, rides and the Outhouse Derby (see below). The highlight was the float parade from Mutu Street to Market Street, finishing up with Santa on a stagecoach with the Pirongia Clydesdales.
