Today’s packed edition of the Cornish Times leads with the great news that the show will go on as regards the Looe Saves the Day Festival after the hard graft of volunteers and generosity of businesses has resulted in £40,000 in fundraising coming in to help replace the cancelled Looe Music Festival next weekend.

We take a look at what their efforts have entailed and also give details of the acts booked and arrangements made so far for the free festival.

We also feature pictures and details from the successful Looe Island Swim.

We hear that bee-keepers and others are being urged to stay vigilant after another sighting of an Asian hornet was confirmed – this time in Liskeard. The invasive species is a voracious predator of bees, and Britain’s honey bees are already under pressure.

We take a look at the celebrations marking the rededication of Liskeard’s refurbished and reordered St Martin’s Church, and also hear about a running group’s ‘plogging’ efforts to tidy up the town.

A Saltash mother of three and former teacher is helping to raise awareness of a rare genetic neurological condition, and the former Saltash register office has been converted to allow the town’s health centre to be extended.

We have further details about this week’s Heritage Open Days Festival around the area and lots of pictures of the Callington Carnival, as well as details of what to expect from this weekend’s Torpoint carnival.

As well as our usual farming page we have an eight-page supplement focusing on sheep farms and some of the breed’s suitable for the Westcountry.

In our nine pages of sport we hear that cricket in Liskeard could rise from the ashes if enough support is shown by the town’s lovers of the game, and there is news of football, rugby and athletics action from around the area.

There is all this and more in this week’s packed edition of the Cornish Times, in shops from today.
