The Upper Hutt Christmas Parade is on this Sunday
Brown Owl Kindergarten is hoping to win best float again this year with their Troll themed float, although it is just about having fun with the community.
"It's always just about having a postiive-themed float and having a good time," co-president of the kindergarten committee Vic Nation said.
Last year they won the best float prize with their Kiwiana themed float, the year before that they were highly commended for "Tane's Forest" and the year before that they won best float for "Travelling Around the World for Christmas".
This year the parade's theme is a "Merry Movie Christmas" and they chose to use the recently released Trolls as their inspiration.
"It's a fun movie, adults and kids like it. It has a positive story and it is it happening now."
As the kindergarten's float is all about their wider community they have encouraged not just the students, but their siblings, parents and former pupils to ride on the float.
There is a $1000 prize for the float that best reflects the theme of a Merry Movie Christmas, and a $250 prize for the People's Choice Award, voted for on social media in the week following the parade.
* The Christmas Parade, with more than 30 Merry Movie Christmas themed floats, takes place on December 4 at 3pm at King St, making its way down Main St to Royal St. Expressions is holding an after party from 3pm to 6pm.
