00:00And as you can see we are surrounded by so many lovely friends and family and people from afar that have joined us today.
00:08We've had such a great selection of crafters, food vendors, drink vendors, so many things that you wouldn't have thought of on the front stage as well.
00:18We've had some chefs come along who have been some wonderful visitors.
00:23So it's a fun-filled family event and it's been super.
00:27We have some face painting, we have some mood making, we have Mr and Lord and Lady McNeem with us today.
00:34How many different stallholders have you had today?
00:37We have 37 with us today and a really good mix of everybody.
00:45And it's just about celebrating what the area has to offer isn't it?
00:48It is yeah and that's what it is. It's all about what we can provide in Moray and the Highlands.
00:53As well as our obviously locally in Elgin and creating the football for our wonderful businesses too.
00:58And I think yeah, we've done a good job so far today. It's been good.
01:02And that's important to try and bring people into the town centre.
01:05I think especially after Covid we need this more than anything.
01:09A lot of the businesses are still struggling to get their football up, especially when you're competing against the internet.
01:15But today is something that we like to do and following our other events later on in the year.
01:20We'll try and bring that football in and invite everybody along to come and celebrate with us.
01:26And I just noticed I think a coach load of Italian tourists being dropped off.
01:30So they're getting a bit of culture as well aren't they?
01:32Yeah it's lovely. So not only the history and the culture that we can provide
01:36but we can provide the entertainment and the wonderful food from around the area.
01:41We can definitely taste why they want to come back to Elgin.
01:45I love that.
01:46And I think, have you been into the tasting table?
01:48Not yet, no.
01:50They're doing fantastic and obviously we've been supported today by Highland Security as well as the Adelaide Service too.
01:57So we've got everybody on board. Wonderful volunteers from our cadets and families.
02:02Cadets with us today. Just making sure that everything turns over properly.
