Organisers of Diss Carnival are appealing to local businesses for their support to ensure its success this year.
The town council led the revival of the popular event featuring a traditional street procession and fete which attracted bumper crowds last summer. And its carnival committee is delivering flyers to shops and companies in the town calling for their help, and encouraging them to get involved in a variety of ways.
The suggestions include donating a prize for the tombola or raffle, entering a float in the parade, having a stand at the event arena, sponsoring an event or music group and making a contribution towards the financial costs.
The committee said the carnival was a great success last year and they are working towards an even better carnival in 2009. Members are aware of the economic challenges companies may be facing, but need their support to ensure the event is a success.
