The Newtown Food Festival, which has become a beloved annual event in the town, owes much of its success to Mary's tireless efforts and unwavering dedication. The festival, which showcases the region's diverse culinary offerings, attracts both locals and visitors from near and far. Mary's organizational skills, attention to detail, and passion for food and community have played a pivotal role in making the festival the success it is today.

In addition to her involvement in the Newtown Food Festival, Mary has served on the organizing committees for other prominent events in the town, such as the Newtown Carnival, Knife Angel, and Kicking Off Christmas. Her dedication and willingness to contribute to the local community have also extended to her involvement with the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.
