At 1.30pm there will be the legendary parade. This includes all the characters, Santa in his sleigh, celebrities, who have been named this year as Emmerdale’s Nicola King and Eric Pollard, Husky dogs, the local pipe band and the floats, in which local school children are encouraged to participate. This year there is the first ever Family Dog Show, with numerous categories to enter. After the parade there will be a Meet & Greet opportunity with the celebrities and the characters. The public pay a donation to meet and have a photo taken with the guest of their choice. In the afternoon there will be a 4 piece ABBA tribute band on stage and they will also be playing at the Kracker after party, to be held at the Fishermans Hall (tickets available). The day comes to an end with the Kracker stage party, held on and around the stage with the characters and the celebrities, who will switch on the Town Christmas Lights. Local singer Toni then continues the party, with the spectacular fireworks display scheduled for 4.30 (weather permitting). The day promises to hold something for everyone and will get you in the mood for the Christmas festivities. Fingers crossed for good weather!
