We had our very first 'Independents' Day' celebration on Monday 4th July 2011. Spurred on by Skillsmart Retail and supported by Pershore Chamber of Trade we decided to celebrate the day by saying thank you to our customers for their support and to really shout about what makes us and our High Street special.
Many of the shops in Pershore participated and hopefully Independents' Day will become an annual event. Some visitors suggested we should make it a monthly event. I certainly would not mind as it meant we sat around drinking and eating all day!
We had locally produced refreshments available throughout the day, including Pershore College Fruit Juice (from fruit and vegetable shop Fruit Salad) and Tyrrell's Crisps (from deli Quintessence). It was a very sociable day with lots of regular customers popping in and also lots of new faces too.
Thank you to everyone who supported the event. If you are a trader and participated in the celebrations, we hope you had a successful day too!
That is enough work... I am off for a walk by the lovely River Avon... Fiona is not so sure, as it has just started raining but I am perfectly waterproof!
