A wild storm brought the Goomeri Christmas Carnival to an early end on Saturday night, but not before Santa fulfilled his annual commitments at the event.
Santa arrived in a police car with lights flashing, and was quickly swamped with children who queued patiently for a chance to talk to the big man in red.
There were also free ice creams to enjoy, along with stalls and the perennially popular Chip Van.
The Goomeri Lions had their wheel spinning almost constantly in a bid to give away all their hams and Christmas cakes before the storm broke.
The Wondai and District Band, which regularly performs at the Carnival, managed to pack up their musical instruments in time before the rain came.
And on the main stage, Gympie’s Leon Smith Show Band kept playing some old favourites right up to when the first raindrops fell.
