Speaker 1: at Norwood there's going to be thousands on the parade.

00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,720

00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 2: Everyone counts the days for it. This year, with Glenorg

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: not being around and only the city one should be

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: even bigger and better.

15
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: How many do you get here for it? I mean

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: the streets are full, aren't they, just like in the city.

17
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: I believe it's around ten fifteen thousand people come every

18
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 2: year and it's very well supported at food Land.

19
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: You've been part of it for years. You've been store

20
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: manager here for a couple of decades, almost a long time,

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,400

00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 2: I certainly am. I've been here eighteen years and I've

24
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: been doing it for over ten.

25
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: I love it. Every year we dress up and can't

26
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: get enough of it.

27
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: How about all the stuff people here get involved with.

28
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: The staff give up their mornings to take part as well.

29
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 3: Yes they do.

30
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: Every year we get well over forty volunteers, sometimes up

31
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: to sixty. They all volunteer their time, but more importantly,

32
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: they actually bring their kids, involve their families, nephews, nieces, grandkids.

33
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: They all come along. Us.

34
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: Adults do all the heavy lifting and all the young

35
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: kids hand out all drinks juices to all the young

36
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 2: kids and the adults on the sidelines.

37
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: That's fantastic. That must be really welcome by people out there.

38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: Everyone's doing it tough at the moment. I guess even

39
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: a drink on a warm Saturday morning, which it will be,

40
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: that'll go down.

41
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: Well.

42
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: Yes, I do appreciate it, and we all as float

43
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: number one we start off the pageant, we're about two

44
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: or three minutes before the rest of the pageant because

45
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 2: we take a bit of time to hand out the

46
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: drinks to everyone. And a couple of years ago, was

47
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: I believe it was thirty odd degrees. Those drinks were

48
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: like an oasis to some people.

49
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's right. Do we see it like it

50
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: is in the city. You got make believe reindeer and

51
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: clowns and all the rest of it out there.

52
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: Oh, ours is slightly different.

53
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 2: We've got customer trolleys which we've actually modified to look

54
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: like reindeers. And at the back of it all is

55
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: a big wooden bunk that we dress up to look

56
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: like a sled. So obviously the reindeers hold the drinks.

57
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: Our helpers help push the reindeers. I do the heavy

58
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: lifting and push along the big wooden casket the back there.

59
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: We thought that the drinks. And I've also got another

60
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: guy that helps me out from the staff. And yeah,

61
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 2: we basically to all the heavy lifting in the staff

62
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: do the rest.

63
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: Okay, I would have thought you would have been Santa

64
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: growing a beard.

65
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: All No, I'm losing my hair, so there's no growing

66
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: beard and a few gray hairs on the face these days,

67
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 2: but mostly brown hair.
