Santa arrives on fire truck

Father Christmas arrived at the Lock Christmas Tree on a Country Fire Service truck, with helpers Indi Morton and Rosie Bowey on board.

The annual event was held at the Lock Aquatic and Fitness Centre on Sunday, 7 December.

Children enjoyed lots of free activities including bauble making, cookie decorating, a bubble machine, Pluck a Duck, and a soccer shootout.

There were a number of market stalls with Lock residents selling freshly bake sourdough bread, thermomix, cloaks and cheese boards, keyrings, along with food and craft items.

Lock Area School students sold items from their class enterprise activities, such as bracelets, dried fruit, biscuits, popcorn, nuts and pretzels.

Those there enjoyed live music from KBeez Gang.
