• The raffle tickets for the £1,000 cash prize which are available from over 40 retailers in Ross are going like 'hot cakes' according to Richard Mayo Chairman of the Association of Ross Traders. Pictured is Mrs Hanson who is just one of the potential lucky winners when she shopped in Truffles last week. Look out for the posters in the participating shops in and around Ross for information on the raffle and the Ross Christmas Shopping Festival on Sunday 6th December, when many shops will be open and offering incentives and special offers. The town will be alive with Christmas lights and music. The market square will be packed with local stall holders offering food and crafts and look out for the special children's activities. Make a date to join the festive fun in Ross-on-Wye this year at this new Christmas event.
