A number of festive parades took place this past weekend across the county and the warm weather seemed to attract more than the usual numbers of parade goers, who this year did not have to battle the usual December cold.

The Sharbot Lake parade (photo right) was the longest in recent memory, with particiaption from many businesses and organisations, a marching band, and the Perth Community Band

 

In Harrowsmith the parade followed its usual route from Centennial Park to the cross roads and back and parade goers who lined the streets were not disappointed. 

On Sunday In Parham,a short delay caused by a train passing through the village, did not dampen the spirits of the many participants in the 8 kilometre long parade. Floats, float riders and a wide assortment of animals were all decked out in festive attire to welcome the holiday season.
