Falling leaves and
foodie festivities
W
e may have reached that point in the year when the children are
back in the swing of things at school and the nights are all but
drawn in for another year, but I don’t think we can really
complain about the hand we have been dealt by good old mother
nature this summer.
This feel good factor has certainly resonated from a national level to
a more local one evident in our picture special from a very successful
Eccleshall Show held at the end of the summer. This event like many of
the community festivals and carnivals held throughout the summer are
only made possible year on year thanks to the hard working and
dedicated volunteers who put them on, and I for one think they deserve
a huge vote of thanks for doing so.
Of course the summer maybe over but that certainly doesn’t mean
the celebrations stop with October marking the return of Stone’s ever
popular Food and Drink Festival. This now renowned event has really
put Stone on the map as a centre of excellence for locally produced food
and drink, an accolade truely worth
celebrating and an event NOT to be
missed.
See you all there.
