Hello to the Hills Community
Please find below a Road map detailing the Road Closure for the 23RD December Lobethal Pageant
INVITATION TO SANTA’S CAVE
Santa has been busy for months making your presents. He knows what you want!
He’s coming to Lobethal on Monday the 23rd of December and we have lots of floats and people to welcome him, and his reindeer, as they land at around 5.30pm, on Pioneer Avenue, after a very long flight from the North Pole!
After a short rest Santa and his reindeer will travel down the Main Street to Restvale, where he will stop and say hello to his oldest friends.
Then he will appear at his Cave to say hello to the children from 8.15pm onwards, at 77 Main Street, Lobethal (Butch’s Garage), straight after the pageant. No fake belly and no fake beard here! We have the REAL Santa!
He’s even brought Mrs Claus and some elves with him, to make sure he stays well organised, and is ready to deliver your present on Christmas Eve.
His elves will be waiting to help you line up to visit Santa, and he can’t wait to say hello.
This is a wonderful post to bring to the Lobethal Community.
We have now filled our allocation for Stalls for the Pageant of 2024
Thank you so much for everyone becoming so involved and making this Pageant a roaring success.
There is also information posted on the website to inform the Community of our Stall list being full
The Lobethal Community have embraced our Pageant returning to 23rd December, and we as a committee can’t thank you all enough.
This is going to be a Pageant to remember.
What amazing support we are getting.
A massive thank you to our sponsors, because without you, Lobethal’s magical pageant on 23 December 2024, would not be happening.
Please support these businesses who support us.

NOVEMBER – The Centennial Hall committee are putting on a movie on 29 & 30 November. All proceeds will go to the 23 December Lobethal Pageant Inc. Lovely family movie “The Santa Claus” with Tim Allen in it, is hilarious and will make a great night out. Thank you to the Lobethal Centennial Hall Committee.
FOOD STALLS – We have lots of lovely stalls lined up for the pageant, with lots of variety. Forms to apply can be found on our website. More on that later.
FLOATS – It’s time to start thinking about your float. There are fantastic prizes to be won, and it’s a good way to advertise your business, club or group. Forms and information can be found on our website http://lobethalpageant.com.au
FATHER CHRISTMAS – After some negotiation with Father Christmas, we have agreed to provide him with a new state-of-the-art sleigh. He insisted on a late model sleigh that could deliver parcels quickly and efficiently to the fast growing Australian population. It comes with an unlimited kilometre 15 year warranty, star gazing navigation system, has low emissions, is very fuel efficient, comes in a variety of colours, has a verbal command system, and a whisper quite ride. Thanks Barrow and Bench for donating the materials. If you want to join in the fun of making this, please contact Niell Schubert.
INFORMATION NIGHT – We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting an information night on Wednesday 16 October at 7.00 pm in the Senior Citizens Hall. Entry is via the side entrance in the lane-way. We would like the community to know everything about their pageant. So if you’re passionate about holding the pageant on 23 December, you’re invited. Come and ask questions, or give us some ideas of what you might like to see. If you want to give a gold coin donation towards the hire, that would be very much appreciated.
The committee want to say thank you to everyone who is supporting our work, as we return your Christmas Pageant in Lobethal to 23 December in 2024.
We are pleased to release our Sponsorship Brochure for our 2024 Christmas Pageant. It should be in your letterbox next week, so keep an eye out for it.
