Eumundi kicked off Christmas celebrations in the region with a community Christmas Carols evening last Sunday and a whirlwind visit from Santa.
For the price of a gold coin donation to the SES thousands of locals were drawn to the Eumundi Showgrounds to hear the renditions of carols from a variety of performers.
About 6pm the excitement mounted as Santa arrived in a red car before making his way to the stage to join in a few bars of “Santa Claus is coming to town“ before making his exit back “to the North Pole“.
Children chased his car in and out of the Showgrounds eager to meet Santa who was sadly off limits due to Covid-restrictions.
