Festival of Talents
July 2nd, 2009
I recently designed the promotion for the Linkinhorne ‘Festival of Talents’ which featured on ITV last night and was recognized for its work bringing the community back together and championing local businesses.
Not so much a ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ as a coming together of the community to demonstrate and show off skills including stonemasonry, hairstyling, mechanics, basket weaving, photography…
At a time when chain stores are moving into more and more towns, smaller businesses are being pushed out, and local economies are being hit hard (as if a recession wasn’t bad enough!) By keeping trade within the region the money spent flows back through the local economy and maintains a thriving community – something which is all too quickly being lost.
If your in the area do try to come along, I’ll be there exhibiting and it would be great to meet you :)
