Pumpkin Festival
The Chairman had a great time at Spalding's annual Pumpkin Festival held in Spalding Town Centre on Saturday 7 October 2023. The Communities Team provided lots of free activities for children to enjoy, including Face Painting, Mini Tractor Rides, Cinderella, lots of singing entertainment and much more. Hundreds of families came out to support the event and to take part in the Fancy Dress Competition.

The Chairman helped to find a winner which was difficult as the costumes were amazing and imaginative.
