Ring those (sleigh) bells

19/11/2009

SANTA Claus and his friends from the North Pole paraded through Westfield Fountain Gate last weekend.
The centre came alive on Saturday as excited children and adults saw Santa, Mrs Claus, fairies, elves and giant Christmas presents for the Santa arrival parade, which has been a Westfield tradition for more than 15 years.
The hour-long grand parade kicked off at 11am near Big W and included nine local children who won a competition online to score a spot.
The malls throughout the centre were filled with customers watching the parade, and a crowd waited at Centre Court to welcome Santa to his throne for the first time this year.
The Berwick Youth Choir and a marching band from Kooweerup Secondary College also performed during the parade.
Santa will be in the centre every day until Christmas.
