【答案解析】The Winter Festival is a free event for all people to enjoy, and is staged by an enthusiastic team of volunteers who found it can be both entertaining and educational, and so far it brings together the voluntary, business and public body communities of the town. The first Winter Festival was introduced as part of its regeneration of the town in 1988. But sadly due to a lack of funding no festival was held in last year. This year the government made it their mission to stage a Winter Festival and provided ￡15000 to the festival. They also persuaded the businessmen in the town to offer the rest ￡5000. What's more, there is a small amount coming directly from the residents of the town. After much hard work in fundraising and convincing people, they could deliver the event on the 3rd Saturday of December.
