Denbigh and Flint Show Prize Draw

There were over 150 entries to this year's free prize draw at the Denbigh and Flint Show. The prize of a luxury hamper proved very popular and it was great to have so many people entering and excited about the possibility of winning.

Our very own Karen Schofield of the Chester office reception picked the Lucky ticket out of the hat after a good rummage through a brimming box of tickets.

Mr Ellis of Penymynydd was the lucky winner and he happened to be in the area to come into our office and collect his luxury hamper.

We run the competition every year and we hope to have even more entries at next years festival!

This year Allington Hughes yet again shared a marquee at the Denbigh and Flint show with our friends over at Wright Manley. 

There were refreshments served throughout the day to welcome the hoards of people who flooded to the event in order to enjoy an array of various stalls and competitions.
