We are immensely proud to have sponsored the No Limits Festival this weekend. A big thank you to the The Rabbit Hole Brigg Independent Bookshop for organising the festival and to all those involved. The weather was fantastic on Saturday and although there was less sunshine on Sunday we still had the same high number of children visit us and take part in our CANtastic Colour In competition, over 200 entries in total! Children either coloured in labels of our design - the Humber Bridge, Julian’s Bower and the Steelworks (CPUK’s Sense of Place featured articles) or made their own design, all labels then stuck to blank cans. They all looked fantastic! All participants took away a medal made from a can end and the winners from each age category will have their design printed onto an actual can. We now have the difficult task of choosing our winners as they are all amazing! All cans from the weekend will be displayed at the Rabbit Hole, Brigg and hopefully 20-21 Visual Arts Centre, Scunthorpe, which we are very much looking forward to arranging. It was also great to relay the story of CANPACK’s Sense of Place book to parents while they waited, detailing local heritage places of interest in all our CP countries, whilst also raising money for our charity partner, the British Heart Foundation. The book could be taken away for a small donation. We had amazing feedback over both days from schools and the local community, asking how we might work together in the future. The weekend was a great opportunity to promote all that CANPACK does whilst just having fun with our local community in a local heritage venue. It was amazing!
