Father Christmas arrived in a golf buggy driven by local resident Richard Hamilton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

December 6, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

Santa chose a golf buggy to make his annual visit to the Kumbia Christmas Carnival on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

When he hopped out of his transport, the jolly gentleman was immediately mobbed by children wanting to share their Christmas wishes with him.<\/p>\n

Santa’s visit at the end of the evening topped off a night of raffles and the traditional (and well-patronised) sausage sizzle.<\/p>\n

A good crowd turned out for the event, with adults browsing the market and gift stalls while children enjoyed a jumping castle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another visitor who dropped in was Constable Clancy, also popular with the children.<\/p>\n

Inside the hall, the entries in the annual Christmas Tree display – prepared by various Kumbia organisations – decorated the stage.<\/p>\n
