From lawnmower racing to Santa’s Grotto, it will be all-go in Eketāhuna on November 25.
The Tararua District town is hoping to get lots of visitors on the day for the annual Christmas parade, which starts at 12pm.

Spokeswoman Jules Burt says there’ll also be plenty to keep visitors entertained throughout the day with market stalls and food trucks opening from 9.30am.
She says a number of local businesses and organisations are expected to enter a float in this year’s parade, including Hato Hone St John’s, Four Square, Eketāhuna School and Pukaha (Mount Bruce) will likely be there.
