A float based on the Disney animated movie Frozen by first-time entrants Ohaeawai Community Preschool and Early Learning Centre won the Kaikohe Christmas parade held over the weekend. The Winter Wonderland theme swept through Kaikohe on Friday evening, led by riders in the upcoming Five Nations Mounted Games and followed by a festival in Memorial Park.
Thousands of spectators lined the main street for the event. Kaikohe’s theme was inspired by a TV show which last year granted local woman Alex Baker’s wish to see snow in the Mid North town.
