Party in the park 2009 - Oakham Town Partnership
I attended this years event at Oakham, loads of visitors attended and were treated to a mini fun fair, vintage car show, various food stalls and traders selling everything from handmade soaps by www.just-soaps.com through to me selling my photographic prints.
The day started well without the threatened wet weather appearing, everyone managed to get prepared ready for the visitors to the park well within the allotted time.
My work received very positive feedback, lots of leaflets and business cards were taken which has resulted in lots of new visits to the site, customers purchased several Prints and numerous amounts of Greeting Cards.
