BRIGG TREE OF LIGHT 2017 NOW ACCEPTING MEMORY CARDS IN MEMORY OF LOVED ONES

Brigg Blog attended the dedication service for the Tree of Light 2017, on Chapel Court, earlier this week.
Father Owain Mitchell, Vicar of Brigg, officiated at the service and Coun Sharon Riggall, Town Mayor of Brigg, was there to see the memory cards people are buying to be  placed on the tree in memory of loved ones (pictured above).
 

Coun Deb Dunderdale, pictured above, on behalf of Brigg Town Business Partnership, placed a card in memory of founder chairman Byron Teague.

She said that without Byron's input and drive this successful organisation would never have come into being and various ventures so familiar today, including the Tree of Light, could not have been established.
You can now buy Tree of Light memory cards - minimum cost £5 -  from the following:
Design Orchard, Ecigworld, Rosa Corsetière, Carers’ Support Centre (Redcombe Lane), St John’s Church, Brigg Methodist Church, The Deli Diner, Brigg Tourist Information Centre (in the Buttercross) and Essence Beauty.
The tree will remain in place until Saturday, January 6, 2018 when the lights will be turned off at 3pm, with another service being held.
Our thanks are extended to Ken Harrison, of Brigg Matters Magazine, for these pictures.
