Christmas Light Switch on a Great Success
The Horbury Environmental Action Group started the Christmas celebration. The event was well received by the parents and children of Horbury and surrounding areas.
Supported by the Horbury 4 Churches together Singers and the very talented Horbury Victoria Band it highlighted the real community spirit of all those involved in making Christmas special for children.
Horbury Heritage Trust Primrose Hall was an outstanding venue for the children’s Christmas Party with over 75 children who meet Santa and were entertained by a disco.
The 4 Churches together Singers lead a lamp light procession from the Primrose Hall to Queen Street where they were joined by other families singing Christmas Carols. In Queen Street all the fun of the fair and Clown entertained the children with trick bike rides and juggling tricks which the young children joined in. There was also free Mince Pies & Mulled Wine which went down a treat with their parents.
The Tombola by Elizabeth Hicks Conservative Horbury Prospective Candidate for next year local election raised £25 for the Cockermouth toddlers Group.
Steve Moat the Manager of the Coop who has supported local community activities throughout the year. Passed on the light switch on to Daniel and Esme who faces expressed what Christmas is all about.
As your Conservatives Councillors we wanted to see organisations and groups committed in making the event enjoyable for the children of Horbury this was achieved with over 250 adults and Children enjoying themselves.
Cllr Alyson Ripley was instrumental in developing and fostering the revised program in response to last year’s poor showing.
She said “the formation of the Horbury Environmental Action Group will grow and develop links with like minded parents, shops, business and groups to develop more events next year for the benefit of the community and schools”.
