With its decorated bike competition, shop window trail, Christmas Show and Santa, front and centre, Christmas in Cooroy celebrations last Friday evening were an experience not to be missed.
Locals and visitors crowded on to the streets and into shops and restaurants to enjoy the celebrations and make the most of the extended shopping hours.
Santa burst into Elm Street to the delight of children who lined up with their families to see him and have their photo taken.
Entertainers including the Do Wop Dolls and Cherry Ripes took to the stage in the Memorial Hall and the street.
There were flashing lights, reindeers, tinsel, flowers and even music included in the imaginative entries.
The fun continues across the region with the Cooroy Chamber of Commerce Christmas Lights competition winners not being announced until 18 December on Facebook.
