Santa himself made a special appearance at the Bonnyrigg Christmas party on Friday 9 December, transported to the event by the local fire brigade.

The afternoon began with Bonnyrigg Public School’s Strong Fathers, Strong Families group cooking up a storm on the barbecue for the community.

Children and adults alike dressed up, with many sporting fantastic Christmas costumes with their eye on winning the prize for best dressed.

There were pony rides, face painting and hair braiding. St George Community Housing would like to thank Fairfield City Council for supporting this wonderful event.
