Thank you, Flaming Skirt Festival crowdfunding backers

Well, the Flaming Skirt Festival contemporary art day in NW Leicestershire was a brilliant experience. We had cafe treats, Queenie's chat, made flaming red paper boats and sailed them in the canal. We lit up the historical dark of the lime kilns, made observations on the bus, devised a special Snibston story, had even more refreshments and discussed the day over coco pops, sugar and jelly babies.

In 10 days time it will be Derbyshire's turn for these Flaming Skirt Festival delights and more. We'd love all the crowdfunding backers to see the reality of the Flaming Skirt Festival. There's still time to book a seat if you haven't already.

And I haven't forgotten your crowdfunding backer rewards. Here is the large THANK YOU that sailed around NW Leicestershire displayed on the bus; it will make another appearance in Derbyshire on June 28th.
