Twas a sunshiny evening in the Hauraki Plains on December 11 with a small risk of rain. The road cones were out to help detour the traffic from Ngatea’s main street, which would host all the magic. Tamariki and whānau turned out to survey the Hauraki Plains Community Christmas Parade. There were pirates on boats, people dressed up as trees, riders on wheels, brass musicians played C. From the animal crossing to helpful elves in abundance – if one thing was certain, the scene was splendidly wondrous. Reporter DAVIDDA HIKATANGATA took out her lens to capture merriment, joy and the fella in red.
