Today’s blog is all about our Garforth Lights Switch on and supporting local traders, shops, stalls and bringing our community together
This year we have tried to make the street a little bit more festive with little festive trees in each window with the money we have, no town has more money than the other from their council, only the likes of Wetherby if they have been lucky enough to have had a private investor #imworkingonit
Garforth Lights should be a community event, where Garforth and surrounding villages come together and enjoy the Festivities that their town is putting on. Everyone involved this year has given their free time since January to help put this together and make something good, better.
Please support the good that people do, its hard work trying to get it right. We’ve taken fairly big steps this year after last year’s planting of seeds, ideas have now turned now into reality and if this format works, then each year can only get better
Let this afternoon get you into the spirit of Christmas #getyouinthemood
SUPPORT THE GOOD OF GARFORTH – IT’S WHERE YOU LIVE
I will be all over Main Street from about 1pm #madladyrunning
I will be watching our Garforth Community Choir from 3.30pm and again at 4.15pm – this has been a project I have worked on with Arts Live and it’s absolutely brilliant, we now have 30 people in the choir, created a Community Interest Company, working with other local companies and also other local people who are part of this great project and the people who attend are loving it. I will be there handing out information if you want to join this great growing singing community group.
