Spotlight The Wristband Queen

During the festival a couple of years ago, out of the blue, Tracie came up to the Information Point and asked if she could help sell some wristbands.

Of course! was the immediate answer!

Half an hour later she reappeared and asked for more wristbands. By the end of the day Tracie had sold more than 400!

It may not be immediately obvious but these wristbands are an important source of revenue for the festival.

Tracie is determined to break her record this year. Let’s make it happen!

Last year, Tracie spent the whole of the festival week selling wristbands at each of the events and then continued throughout the weekend. By the end of the week she had sold over 750!

Realising that the festival was struggling to cover the costs at the end of the festival, she decided that she would sell her handmade jewellry which she creates as a hobby, to raise further funds to help cover our losses.

Tracie has continued to craft more jewellry pieces and sell them whenever she can - most notably at the Winter and Coronation Festival thanks to the kindness of the Golden Oldies charity shop.

Single handedly, Tracie has raised well over £1,000 for festival funds and has susequently become Citizen of the Year!

She has been an inspiration to us all and, we cannot thank her enough.
