Santa Arrives at The Parkway Shopping Center Limerick - See Santa in Limerick

It may not quite be December yet but Santa is getting ahead of the rush and making sure that all the boys and girls get a chance to see him at the Parkway shopping Center.

Arriving in style in a snow white Merc (No recession at the north pole I guess !) Santa and Mrs Claus were piped into the center to the wating crowds of Kids.


The event was well organised as we have come to expect from the managment and staff of the parkway and Fran O'Donnell from Futureama Productions took a break in the planning for Limerick on Ice to provide an amazing Confetti Cannon to make sure things were suitably Christmassy with some indoor pink snow! much to the delight of all the kids (and adults!).
Christmas Music was provided by Local DJ Richard Smith.

After meeting and greeting with the Kids Santa amd Mrs Claus made their way to the grotto stopping by the Limerick Guide Dogs for the Blind who were selling their Christmas Calender and the New Charity CD from Eoin Hand [ available online here ].
There was already quite a queue or people waiting at the grotto so Santa quickly made his way in and got the job of meeting all of the kids under way.
Well I guess nothing lets us know that Christmas is not far away better than the arrival of Father Christmas!
