Swansea Christmas Parade
Swansea held its annual Christmas Parade on the Friday before Christmas. Community members and service organisations gathered to march along the main street of Swansea. There were lots of adorable and fairies and elves, and some other interesting costumes... I was asked to just days before to contribute to the event by playing my pipes, and was happy to lead the parade, and provide the music for the occasion. The parade finished with a BBQ at the sports oval, put on by the Lions Club.
Although it was a small parade [even with the new addition of a musician], it was a very good turnout for a small town of only 600 people. Changing weather conditions even gave the fire fighters and emergency service volunteers a chance to attend.
Jodie got some great photos, despite the overcast and windy conditions. You can check them out in the web album above.

In the photo entitled "The Parade Gets Under Way", is there an old fashioned stripper following you?
Did people just get any costume that they could find and put it on?? I know that Spiderman sends a noble message ("With great power comes great responsibility"), but it's not the traditional Jesus Claus story...
Swansea looks like an interesting place :)
