Looking forward to festival season

I still continue to receive letters daily from people from all over the United Kingdom telling me how much they enjoyed the Special Olympics. It was certainly wonderful to talk to so many people visiting Leicester for the first time last month. Now we prepare for a fresh influx of visitors this weekend as people arrive for Summer Sundae, an event that has gained national and even international recognition in recent years. Once again we welcome all visitors to Leicester including the many who have come here to stay with families and friends. And of course looking ahead to the following weekend, we have the Castle Park Festival which I am looking forward to launching on Friday August 21st at the Newarke Houses Museum.
