Thanks to glorious weather,
the first Corwen food festival brought out the crowds yesterday (Saturday).
Based on the old Pavilion site and organised by Anglesey Events, it included a host of stalls showcasing products from a wide area of North Wales.
George Jones, spokesman for Llangollen Railway whose project to open a new station in the area is rapidly nearing completion and who took these pictures, said: "The station development formed an impressive backdrop and it was generally
agreed that at future events the arrival of a steam train would make a dramatic
entrance.
"The potential for the
site was clearly demonstrated and for once the town's car park was full - and free.
"The event attracted a
variety of stalls featuring craft and heritage sales, as well as traditional
and exotic food and drink.
"The group performing
in the morning was the Magee Bros, from Holyhead with a mix of Welsh, English
and Irish songs."
