“Addison, well, his grin on the night said it all and Lucy was shocked into being speechless ... which can be hard task for her.

“As convenor, I am very proud to be supporting them all in 2018 and really look foward to welcoming the community and friends to the planned events.

TweedbankFair Week runs from Saturday, May 26, to Saturday, June 2, and loads of activities are planned.
