Pokemon at the Ritz
At the September Weekend illuminations on the Saturday night (24 September), the Ritz Cafe won 'The Best Street Entertainment'.

This was the Pokemon theme. The young staff at the Ritz, and Jay Currie (age 11), and Lewis Joyce (age 4), were dressed as all the Pokemon characters, team rocket and team ash. They did a brilliant dance-off and wowed the crowds gathering to watch, even in the pouring rain!

It was superb entertainment and much deserved to win. The Newton Bar won the prize for 'special effort' for their fabulous Mardigra (again in awful weather) and The George Hotel won 'Best Hospitality Establishment' for their 'Evacuated to Millport' World War II theme.

It was a great effort by everyone that weekend and showed no matter what the weather Millport is 'Alive and Kicking' and has fantastic community participation. Millport is still open for business and welcomes visitors all the time.
