Think Pink
You’ll have been living under a stone if you haven’t noticed that Rhuthun/Ruthin's gone pink, quite literally. In case you were wondering why, it’s in support of the Dwynwen Big Pink Ball on Friday, at Castell Rhuthun/Ruthin Castle, which aims to raise at least £5,000 towards the charity Breast Cancer Care. North Wales has a higher average incidence of breast cancer than the UK. Yet, giving to charity's currently down as a result of the times in which we currently live.
Over 35 Rhuthun traders have turned their window space over to various degrees of pinkness. Some have major displays, others have simply moved pink goods to the forefront.
Overall, it makes a dramatic display and gives a striking sense of unity among our traders that we’d venture to suggest we’ve not seen since VE Day (that’s at the end of World War Two, for younger readers).
There's been a lot of imagination and thought put in. Several displays stand out. Nelson’s and Jan's Cards are spectacularly pink. It’s surprising what you can do at an opticians, in pink (Alton Murphy). And it was good to see humour within such a serious subject.
My own favourites were Blossoms beauty, with a giant brassiere hanging in the window and the highly pink Beresford Adams. Estate agents aren’t always known for their humour especially in
difficult times as now, but they’ve entered into the spirit of pinkness, including an array of pink brassieres hanging from pink coat hangers.
Here’s a list of the traders who are supporting the Big Pink Ball with window displays. Apologies if we’ve left anyone out: get in touch.
Nothing doing at Tesco. B&M coincidentally had some pink goods just inside the entrance. Co-op's oblivious and features hallowe'en. Ethel Austin oddly moved its range of children’s pink wellies out of its window.
