Roselyn and the Starlight Parade Committee (with our help) offically launched the Peterhead Half Marathon on Friday with a photo shoot at Maggie Blacks Trail with our sponsors- Peterhead Projects Ltd, Scottish Building Society, Bain Henry Reid, Thistle Marine, Buchan Observer and offcourse ourselves!! Without their help and support it would be impossible to have this event. The Peterhead Half Marathon takes place on Sunday 12th September during Buchan's Larder our areas very own Food Festival. The format of the annual Fish Festival which has been going for 4 years has changed to incorporate a wealth of foods for 2010 under the banner 'Buchan's Larder'.Festival Hairy Bikers Simon King and Dave Myers are to headline this year's Food Festival Dinner, to be held by the Peterhead and Buchan Tourism Initiative from the 11th to 18th September The 2010 food festival will include the same elements as the Fish Festival , including the popular art competition, the market, the folk evening which was organised in last year's event and the dinner to be held at the Waterside Inn with the Hairy Bikers On Friday 17th September.
