"It will be a good advert for Louth."
Councillor Eileen Ballard joked that maybe she could use real sausages to hang from her outfit instead.
The council discussed whether to organise a celebration for the torch relay.
Councillor Margaret Ottaway said: "I think it is going to be a very, very quick, organised thing. There isn't going to be a lot of time."
Councillor Sue Locking said: "People will turn out. It is a once in a lifetime event certainly for our generation."

“As a Louth resident I am proud of our prize winning sausages........ as for the Town Council, I was always taught that if I had nothing nice to say, best not to say anything!”
