BRIGG ON THE BALL WITH ITS FIRST FARMERS' MARKET OF THE SUMMER

Ideal weather greeted the first Brigg Farmers' Market of the summer yesterday (Saturday, June 25).
The sun shone and thankfully there was a stiff breeze to take the edge off the temperature for traders and the many shoppers who browsed the stalls, stands and mobile outlets in the Market Place and along Wrawby Street.
Brigg Town Football Club was a newcomer, booking a stall (pictured above right) to sell merchandise and distribute leaflets detailing the Zebras' pre-season games.
The list includes home fixtures against Hessle on July 6 (7.30pm), Winterton Rangers on July 9 (3pm) and Avro on July 23 (1.30pm).
Punnets of fresh strawberries found many takers yesterday, and conditions were ideal for tucking into locally-made Tuckers ice cream.
It was being sold from an ice-box attached to a trike - a traditional method that would have been familiar to Brigg residents in the era between the two world wars.
Among those visiting Brigg yesterday were scooter club members, whose machines are seen here parked near Wetherspoon's White Horse pub, and cyclists in full racing gear who also stopped off for refreshments in the town centre.
The monthly farmers' event was accompanied by the traditional Saturday market offering fruit & veg and fish.
The next Brigg Farmers' Market - arranged by North Lincolnshire Council - will be held on Saturday, July 23, 2022.
