Cumnock’s ‘Market of Optimism’ event has been hailed as a great success, despite wet weather. “I’ve never seen so many people laughing and smiling in the rain”, Councillor Kathy Morrice commented as she visited the market, held in the Town Centre.
Kathryn Howell, Town Centre Manager, was thrilled with the response. She said: “We were very lucky to be able to book this spectacle, which was being performed by the actors of Mischief La Bas for the last time after touring to Festivals including those in Liverpool and Edinburgh. Despite the downpour hundreds of people turned out and had a great day.
“I’ve had some fantastic emails from people who said they still haven’t stopped laughing. The actors were brilliant, adapting their style for young and old and keeping the children wide-eyed with wonder.”
Councillor Kathy Morrice added: “The enthusiasm of the crowds is proof of the strength of our local community. It is heartening to see people turn out on a pouring wet day to support our ongoing programme of events.”
