I think this is my favourite event of your town, although I also very much like the St. Lucia tradition.<br />The 400-year-anniversary is just round the corner; I bet they are already preparing for that! My town has had its 300th anniversary some years ago, and that was BIG, too. No free cake, though...Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-59931655813598470852017-06-30T00:17:04.408+02:002017-06-30T00:17:04.408+02:00Happy anniversary to your town.

What exactly is the job of the ambassador? I imagine there would be quite a ruckus about choosing this author. I love the gulls! Was anybody feeding hem crumbs?
