Finishing touches are under way for the Credit Union Christmas Pageant NEW ATTRACTION: Giselle Reschke and Stephanie Fisher introduce new pageant creations Boots and Twinkle, with some volunteers. THERE is only one more sleep until the Credit Union Christmas Pageant takes over the streets of Adelaide and bursts into life. Final preparations are well underway with the finishing touches being put on all of the floats ready to bring pageant magic to the young and old tomorrow, including newest additions the Christmas Fairy Elves - Boots and Twinkle. The designers Stephanie Fisher and Giselle Reschke have spent hours on the three-and-a-half metre puppets. which v Volunteers will operate the wings, neck, arms, head and legs. "They have elfish qualities and fairy qualities," Ms Reschke said. We designed a trolley where the puppet sits upon pushed by volunteers. We were really keen for it to have a different slant and vulnerability to it so it's good for people to see the mechanics of it working which you don't see with other floats. We'll know that we've done a good job when we get to see the kids faces light up during the pageant. Both designers can't wait to be part of such an iconic South Australian tradition. "I love the colour, the range of characters and that it's a tradition unique to Adelaide," Ms Fisher said. Tomorrow's parade will be travelling a slightly different route around Victoria Square due to the current redevelopment. Heading to the Christmas Pageant tomorrow?
