They\u2019ve been roaming Moorabool\u2019s main streets during December and if you missed them\u2026 you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, cos I\u2019m telling you why \u2013 there is still one last opportunity.<\/p>\n

Father Christmas and his hard-working elf will be roaming Main Street Bacchus Marsh on Christmas Eve, this Friday 24 December from 10.30am-1.30pm.<\/p>\n

Moorabool Mayor Cr Tom Sullivan said the roaming Christmas features were part of Council\u2019s 2021 program of activity for \u2018Yule Love Christmas in Moorabool\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had great anecdotal feedback that the Santa visits were well received,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026which is why we had them again this year, to continue to bring joy (and local expenditure) to our town centre\u2019s in the lead up to Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the second year running that the festive visits have taken place around the Shire\u2019s town centre\u2019s, along with the return of the Shire\u2019s giant Christmas trees.<\/p>\n

Say hello to Father Christmas, and make sure he knows how good you\u2019ve been this year and what\u2019s on your wish list, this Friday 24 December in Bacchus Marsh, 10.30am-1.30pm.<\/p>\n
