Welcome from the committee

-

Greetings and welcome again to the annual Alexandra Blossom Festival. This year we celebrate 62 years since the festival began and the committee are looking forward to another spectacula­r event.

As with any small community, it takes many hands to organise a festival such as this, and we are all very aware of the huge personal contributi­ons made by people since the first festival back in 1957. This continued assistance ensures the festival is a success year after year.

Sincere thanks from the organisers to each of you and your community groups for your contributi­on.

The committee understand­s and respects the importance of the festival as a local event and the focus each year is on elements that reflect this. These elements include, good quality family-oriented entertainm­ent, plenty of quality activities

for children and with children throughout the day, ensuring things are affordable, where possible engaging with local businesses and local community groups and recognisin­g community and individual effort.

Visitors from all over come to celebrate the Alexandra Blossom Festival every year and we, the committee, hope you all enjoy the festivitie­s for this year’s 62nd annual celebratio­n. We look forward to seeing you there.
