Stuart Hall graced Longridge with his diminutive physical but massive otherwise presence on Saturday. (he would have put it considerably more lyrically than that - a man as at ease with words as he is with people).
One of his business interests includes Lancashire Magazine which was a main sponsor of the First Longridge and District Food and Drink Festival hosted by Promac Leisure - AKA The Corporation Arms at Longridge.
The Town Council had also made a contribution and as a result I got to wear the bling again alongside our MP Nigel Evans as the official opening took place on Saturday morning.
By 11 oclock Mr Hall had readjusted the mayors' hair for numerous photos and a Radio Lancashire slot and I decided it was time for cider!! 
Shortly afterwards the sun came out and the cooking demos got going. Reports back from the organisers suggest that 1300 people attended over the 3 nights and 2 days and there is every chance that there will be another next year! I hope so!!!visit http://www.longridgenews.co.uk/longridge-news/Longridge-food-festival-hailed-a.5420120.jp for the local papers take and better pic of the job too!!
