Tonight sees one of the commmunity highlights of the year in Brigg - the Christmas fair and switching on of the town centre illuminations.
Residents, and visitors, are advised to be in the Market Place for about 4.45pm if they want to find a good vantage point to watch the official lights switch-on ceremony at 5pm.
Then you can browse the stalls and the craft fair, have a bite to eat or a pint or two, and do some Christmas shopping, as many retailers will be staying open specially.
Weather permitting, it should add up to another great night, with the tills ringing merrily.
The long-serving Betty Lewis has asked us to remind people St John's Church is offering refreshments while the fair is on, so why not pop in for a warming drink? Proceeds go to church funds.
Brigg District Lions deserve high praise for again organising the Christmas fair, as does the town council for its hard work over the illuminations.
Barrie Gray and Son, the well-known Brigg electrical firm, was out in the Market Place before 7am this morning, working on the lights. And the Christmas tree is in place near the NatWest bank.
So it's all systems go for an event which should bring a few thousand folk into the town centre!
