Tweedbank Lad and Lass were exemplary

The duo, along with attendants Ethan Fraser, Ava Swan, Alex Bell and Katie Deerin smiled throughout the week’s activities.

Tweedbank Fair Convener Paul Wheatley said: “What a week! The weather really came out for our amazing village as did the residents of Tweedbank, who came out in force with increased attendance at almost all events.

“Our principals did a great job, they were a fantastic exemplary of the community of Tweedbank.

"We were very grateful for the Melrose and Galashiels principals for joining in our fair week and welcoming our principals.

“The crowning glory of the fair is out Grand Fete on the final Saturday which included a live band, a DJ, and a plethora of activities for kids of all ages.

"We really wanted a family-friendly mini festival vibe and we hit that goal with overwhelmingly positive feedback from attendees.

"It was lovely to see families, from babies to great-grandparents, all spending the day together enjoying the fair.

"Behind the scenes the fair was organised by an entirely new committee who brought some new ideas and put in a power of work to pull together the 2023 fair.

“We also increased the engagement with local businesses and the primary school, who really pulled out all the stops to support the fair in a variety of ways.
