the farmer's santa christmas parade is an annual event which happen every year at christmas and features a santa.  farmer's is the name of a shop (a bit like john lewis for you brits).

santa isn't actually a farmer.  although he might be.

there were lots of 'fairies' sprinkled in between the different floats to keep the crowds amused.  it looked like they'd only just found their way back after a rather chaotic halloween party
