Children In Need at Colne Market
Kevin, one of our traders at Colne Market, was dared to by one of his customers to dress up as a woman for Children in Need.
As you can see, although he is wearing a pink wig similar to that worn by Julia Roberts in the movie "Pretty Woman", he can hardly be accused of being one (a pretty woman that is!).
He has however raised money for a good cause.
Kevin and his wife Michelle run the market's Snack Bar inside the market. Hopefully this is a one off !
