THE Alloa Town Centre BID’s free summer fun brought in the crowds last week.

Visitors to the town enjoyed entertainment from Pirate Pete and Mr Puffin the balloon modeller on Thursday (10 July).

Children interacted and participated with Pirate Pete’s magic shows, while Mr Puffin impressed those watching with fabulous balloon models.

The day was part of the BID’s summer events, aimed at attracting families and children in the town centre.

BID manager, Andrew Mitchell, said, “Our free weekly children’s events are definitely the place to be on Thursdays and will run all the way through the summer holidays.  “We also have The One Direction taking centre stage in the High Street on 9 August. Please follow us on Facebook to keep up to date with our activity.”
