THE annual Stockton Heath Festival made a profit despite the recession the parish council were told.
Coun Tudor Pole told members organising the festival and staging shows cost £29,500, and the event raised £31,000.
He said: “Considering the current economic climate it is pretty good. It is fantastic that we raised this much.”
Coun Pole said income included £6,000 from grants, £6,000 from local businesses and £11,000 from ticket sales. He said during the event £5,000 was also raised by other charities under the banner of the festival.
Members joined Coun Pole in thanking Coun Helen Dutton – who is resigning as secretary from the festival committee – for her work helping organising the event during the past three years.
