Brigg Fair reborn

Friday, 5 August 2005

It was touch and go for a while, but the Brigg BUGSS committee managed to organise a fantastic Fair in a few short weeks. Heartfelt thanks go to all of the organisers and everyone who took part.

The Queen of the Fair being presented by the Lady Mayor of Brigg (Pic. courtesy C Brindley BUGSS). There were many side shows and a funfair in Brigg town centre.

There was a line dancing demonstration outside the White Horse and a packed Market Place with a bouncy castle on Bridge Street and the BBC Radio Humberside bus.

Rachel Day was a fabulous compere and entertained the crowds at the fair throughout the day excellently (Pics. courtesy J Martin).

This stunning car was used as the processional vehicle for the Queen of the fair. There were a number of other classic cars around the town too.

There was also a craft fair in the Angel Courtyard. Pictured on the right is Diane Cunningham who teaches at the Adult Education Centre, Redcombe Lane, Brigg.

The Fair included many activities including a face painter. Pictured on the right are the local constabulary taking a well earned rest after a long, safe, peaceful and enjoyable day.
