What a busy week it has been for us! Last week we celebrated
the Mod Phaislig coming to town by holding a stall all week at the Piazza
shopping centre to promote everything Fairtrade alongside our office neighbours, Just Trading Scotland. We also helped Paisley
celebrate the Mod coming to town by decorating our shop with Mod bunting and
posters to get everyone talking about this special event. The Royal National Mod is an annual event
which aims to showcase Gaelic language and culture to the wider world, through
music, dance, drama, art and literature. It was a great success and good to see people from all around the country turn out to support the event.
As well as this, it was also national chocolate week so what better way
to promote our great selection of Divine chocolate than at the Mod event for
everyone to sample and buy. This proved very popular along with the Whiskey & Gin tasting from other stall holders and & Just Trading Scotland's samples of their tasty jams, chutneys and sauces. With a specially designed Fridge cake recipe by Britain’s celebrity chef and author Sam
Stern to help support chocolate week, we at Rainbow Turtle created a hamper
using Divine chocolate and other fairly traded ingredient to promote this tasty
recipe for those to purchase.
Thank you to
everyone who turned up to support us last week and the volunteers at Rainbow
Turtle & Just Trading Scotland who took the time to run the stall. We
enjoyed taking part in both celebrations!
