FATHER Christmas has set up his house at Riverside Plaza, and is throwing his doors open from 10am-4pm daily all the way through to Christmas Eve, when official duties will have him called out over rooftops.

Santa likes an orderly schedule to meet families, so book a time online at www.bookitlive.net/dalewright to get a photo with the big man.
Coronavirus hasn’t spread to the North Pole and Santa has flown in on an overpriced Qantas business class flight, done his time in hotel quarantine and is now super spreading Christmas joy at Kialla’s Riverside Plaza.

Masked up with a desperately-unkempt, white-as-snow beard and moustache and covered from head to toe (including white gloves), Old St Nick has survived a bumpy year to make another appearance.

Sitting on his golden throne, this has the potential for one serious outbreak of excitement for the kids of Greater Shepparton, requiring an immediate lockdown of appointment times to meet the old man.

Christmas is a time for giving, and for some in our community this year has seen sporadic income, uncertainty and angst. The Community Giving Tree is your chance to make someone’s Christmas that little bit more special. All kids deserve a happy Christmas, no matter what’s going on around them. Place an unwrapped child’s gift under the tree to contribute. All gifts will be provided to Vincent Care Shepparton.
And speaking of special, spend $10 or more at a participating Riverside Plaza store and fill out an entry form for your chance to win a share of $15,000 in the GMCU 2020 $15,000 Cracking Christmas Shopping Spree. Good tidings to you!
