A long time ago... In a football stadium far, far away... well yesterday in Burnley, Lancs on May 4th or to be more precise May the Fourth be with you, Time Was... was at Turf Moor, home to Burnley Football Club.
Only the home team hadn't turned up and the away team of Clone Troopers and their star striker Darth Vader played a blinder. It wasn't until Obi-Wan Kenobi and Chewbacca shored up the defence that things got better and the home supporters had something to cheer about.
It was a great day out, not only for the traders, not only for the Star Wars guests but mainly for the hundreds of kids of all ages, from a 14 week old Master Yoda to an 80 year old Star Wars fan. Many of the kids were in costume and took part in a fancy dress competition. It was difficult to chose who would win. Autographs were flying, light sabres were flashing and excited kids were everywhere.
BBC Radio Lancashire were there reporting on events throughout the day. Time Was... was also interviewed live on air to claim our 15 minutes of fame, well alot nearer to five minutes.
Although it was a long journey and a very early start Anne did appreciate the drive after we turned off the M62 and onto the A58 through Hebden Bridge and Todmorden, oh it did bring back memories of hills. A Lancashire lass for a Lancashire event.
An excellent day, well organised by Neil who was using the event to raise money for the local Hospice, and a huge success all round.
