The yarnbombers of Thirsk have been busy creating a new display around the Market Place, and this time the theme is 'Endangered Species'. Their skill in creating life-like displays is impressive, and I was particularly impressed with this polar bear.
There are over 30 endangered species on display until the end of August, when they are removed and sold on a charity market stall. Sadly, two of the creatures on display have been lost - one vandalised and one stolen. Very sad, since they provide such an attractive feature of the market place and later raise funds for charity.
Such a lovely display. So sad to learn that a few of the displays have been vandalized. This is a great initiative to make people aware of what is happening to our world.
sorry to hear about the 2 lost
Thank you all for your lovely comment and fav, they are very much appreciated.
In good news, the orangutan that was stolen from the display has been replaced by a new one - a very quick piece of work!
