WRAWBY SHOWS BRIGG THE WAY - 41 PICTURES BY KEN HARRISON


These pictures of the recent Wrawby Show suggest Brigg would benefit from re-launching a similar show-piece community event in our town.
That's if someone, or some organisation, is willing to co-ordinate volunteers and sort a date and venue.
While Wrawby's annual show continues to be held every August, Brigg's was discontinued some years ago, having been arranged by the Horticultural Society over a lengthy period.
Ken Harrison, of Brigg Matters magazine, has kindly sent Brigg Blog these images - having travelled back to Wrawby, where he once lived, for the 76th village show.
This Village Hall-based event was open to the public from 2pm, with prizes presented two hours later and followed by an auction of produce. Refreshments were available.
It seems to us that any future Brigg Show - perhaps in a central venue like the Angel Suite or St John's Church Hall - might fit in well on the farmers' market Saturday in late August, when many people visit the town centre.
The show and market would go together like two peas in a pod!
