It was Nanango’s turn to celebrate Christmas and host a visit from Santa on Friday night.

The local boys in blue welcomed the man in red (and his missus) to the Blue Light Skating Hall in George Street where he handed out gifts to the waiting children.

As well as getting to meet Santa, the children also enjoyed free popcorn and snowcones.

A jumping castle also proved popular at the back of the hall.

Santa had also been expected to drop into Murgon’s Christmas Carnival on Friday night as well, but rain in the area caused organisers to postpone the fun and games until Monday evening.

We believe Santa has adjusted his diary bookings and will still be able to squeeze in a visit.

Sadly, Santa’s visit to Yarraman on Saturday has also been put off.

The Yarraman Progress Association said Errol Munt Park had received too much rain to allow the town Christmas festival to go ahead. They now plan to hold a celebration on New Year’s Day (January 1) but we suspect Santa will be safely back at the North Pole by then.

At the Blue Light Christmas were Nicole and Peter Coe, from Nanango, with Isaac, 2, and Emily, 3 … the children were having fun with thewir Christmas candle presents from Santa
