Christmas Extravaganza

Wow what a day yesterday was, thank you to everybody who visited our event and made it such a fantastic event.
We brought pride back into our town and an atmosphere to be proud of, a round of applause goes to everyone who visited, producers who attended, shops, coffee shops and pubs who opened especially for the event, Market Drayton Advertiser, The Shropshire Star, BBC Shropshire Radio and all the people who helped on the day, without you all it wouldn't of happened and Market Drayton wouldn't of seen its biggest crowd to the town centre in years.
Thank you all
Well we had @johntyodonty from BBC Shropshire arrive on his quest for the Treasure Quest and yes he did it, it was hidden on the FordHall farm stall, and even though the burgers were cooking away in front of him, Johnty resisted and browsed around the market.
The Macmillan ladies did fantastic with their mystery parcels, raising a large amount of money for the charity to be used locally.
The Rugby club sold a large amount of their charity calenders, they are now available in Sport United Market Drayton if you missed your chance yesterday.
Steve Chappie was *In de Shed* once again and the lads even did a little show for us, these lads are so entertaining, you could watch them all day.
The children from Musicland entertained us all and did a great performance, very impressive for the age of these little ones.
The Salopian Brass Band from Shrewsbury were superb, a real treat to hear all the carols that they played, just what we needed to get into the Christmas spirit.
The children from Music land were a piece of Christmas all wrapped up, what a great treat for them to come along and perform in front of the crowd and do it so well, congratulations kids, you were fantastic.
If you were lucky enough to try the Thai experience stall I believe it was fantastic and sold out so quickly that even I missed out, i also missed out on the cupcakes from Cooke's Cakes who sold out within 2 hours, what a fantastic day Bekki had, thankfully she stayed for the rest of the day and took orders for Christmas, mine included.
For the rest of the new producers i'm told they all had a great day and are all wanting to come back again in 2011.
