I know this sounds ridiculous but its true. Someone has taken Santa's house from the Christmas light display on Station Road, Foulridge, which had been there for the last 40 days. The house was a cover for the electric plugs and to be inkeeping with the theme was made into Santa's house with a proper slate roof and chimney. The owners are very disappointed and sad to say the least as they had done the display for the children and to help brighten up Station Road. P.C. Mark Whitehead said whilist visiting the owners " residents should take adequate precautions to protect their property " and even though the owners agreed with him they feel that even with street lighting, neighbours and business security systems nothing is safe in today's society and obviously this includes Santa as well.
On saturday 24th November, St Michael & All Angels Church, Foulridge, will be holding its annual christmas fair, in the village hall, 11am - 2pm. There will be the usual stalls to purchase your seasonal gifts from, also home cooked lunches & raffle, all proceeds are for the church.
