tradition is the key to an event like this, hence why the bigger events are so successful

look at grassington dickensian christmas fair for example, traditional, good value well advertised and every year oversubscribed with coach companies having to book in advance to get in! why not make regular events like this. promote our town and make it one to be proud of. we potentially do have much to offer so why not build on it.times are tough - we all know that so if there is not enough money floating round in our own residents pockets to keep local businesses afloat then it needs to come from elsewhere. and the answer to that my friends is to bring it in from elsewhere by attracting outsiders in from other areas to spend what little they have in our town by making our town more attractive than theirs, by making it unique and by offering what they can't get in their own town(s).
