Garfield Christmas Festival 2014

The Garfield Christmas Festival was held for the first time in many years and the Trafalgar Truck Restorers Club was invited along - nine local trucks turned up. It was a great event - all the shops were open, community groups were involved, the weather was fine and there was a good crowd - so the organisers would have to be happy.

This 1965 Seattle cab Kenworth got the Kenworth buffs talking. It is owned by Steve and Mick Ellis.
