The proprietors of the successful Middlewich holiday company MIDDLEWICH NARROWBOATS have certainly taken the FAB Festival this weekend to their hearts.
The Canal Terrace boatyard and the canal side (off Lewin Street, opposite the British Legion) have both been extensively enhanced, using a VERY BIG ARMY PARACHUTE, should there be rain (it covers most of the boatyard), in keeping with the local tradition of making the FAB Festival a great success for residents and visitors alike.
In addition to being the OFFICIAL SPONSOR to this year's Festival Guide the firm will be offering many attractions for ALL of the family, with the NEW FAB STAGE for entertainers.

From my own perspective, if all of the Middlewich Business FAB Festival participating owners, have the time and energy to be as passionately involved in making this years FAB Festival,one of the best in recent years, as Middlewich Narrowboats, we are likely to have one of the BEST FESTVALS for a very long time. Very well done to Greg and his wife, and may your business benefit from all of you and your teams efforts.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cliff. Yes, there's no doubt that Middlewich Narrowboats' management and staff threw themselves into the Festival wholeheartedly, benefiting the town and the festival alike.
