CROWDS gathered to Blackwood’s annual Christmas Fair on Saturday, announcing the beginning of the town’s Christmas festivities.
A number of crowd-pleasing performers strutted their stuff on stage before Santa’s Sleigh parade signalled for the Christmas Lights to be switched on.
John Hold, clerk of Blackwood Town Council said: “Congratulations and thanks to the Caerphilly County Borough Council events team in organising what was another very successful day for the town with good crowds throughout the day enjoying everything on offer.
