AT THE DOUBLE

An hectic weekend for Brigg started last night with the successful nativity play staged in the Market Place, featured a real live baby as Jesus.
The donkey didn't always want to do what the director wanted it to do, but it didn't matter.
Congratulations to Canon Lilley and the members of various churches who came together to make this event happen. Let's hope for a repeat next year.
Today's special farmers' market attracted a large crowd of shoppers to the various stalls. And it was great to see Wrawby Street so busy - proof, if proof were needed, that the monthly farmers' markets really benefit other traders in the town.
Ian Cawsey MP seems to have shares in the bandstand! Only a couple of Saturdays since he was there collecting for Jerry Green's, he popped up again today to provide guitar and vocals for Christmas songs being played to entertain the crowds.
Among his musical colleagues in the bandstand was Coun James Truepenny, Brigg's Deputy Town Mayor, who teaches music.
Inside the Angel Suite, Town Mayor Coun Mike Campion's coffee morning was well supported, and His Worship has promised to let us know the total raised for his chosen charities, when he's had chance to tot up the pennies.
Mayoress, Ann, was serving refreshments, and the Vale of Ancholme College band provided suitable music for the occasion.
Various stalls were also open in the Angel Courtyard.

More pictures I took at this event will no doubt find their way into the pages of the Scunthorpe Target in the near future.
