It’s the festive season once again so the Middy is taking a look back at what was happening in the district more than a decade ago.

We’ve dug through our photo archives to find 17 of the best festive images of residents in 2008 and 2009.

The pictures show Christmas fairs, delicious meals, food sales, tree festivals and even a tree-planting.
