Saturday was a wild wet day in Lichfield! Although there were many events in the city, people were taking the quickest routes between them! As always, Santa and his two helpers, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, braved the elements with the bucket collection outside. More importantly, it was encouraging people inside to enjoy refreshments and browse the stalls.
The fair went well although takings were a little down – the Cannock SA Band was playing in the Three Spires Centre and many people had already contributed to the street collection. Lichfield people have always been very generous.
Santa, on his debut performance, was heard to mutter that if he was on stage there would be an interval and the show would be a couple of hours. We were there from 10.30 till 2.30! However, he kept up the good cheer and the looks on the faces of youngsters as they spotted him was worth every moment of cold and wet.
