It was a sleepy start to this year’s Fun Day – most likely because it was held on a Sunday this year… there were no children in fancy dress in the parade for which only a handful of children showed up!
Nonetheless, the children and volunteers, who included Cllr. Andrew Frampton on crutches, walked along from the school, carrying the shields up the High Street and down through Bernards’ Place 🙂
Stalls opened, games began and Holly from Strawberry Jam occupied and entertained the younger audience with her balloon making skills and show.
The ever popular Nina Garcia got the crowd jigging…
Afterwards, the crowd were entertained by Bridport’s Broadsides Shanty Group, who didn’t just acquire a fan in young Katelyn, daughter of Chloe Staff – they acquired a participant…
Judged by Margaret Jenkins, The Scarecrow Competition Winner 2023 was… the W.I. with ‘Lottie the Landgirl‘ 🙂
Runner up was Megan Jones with ‘Private Peaceful‘ 🙂
Congratulations and thanks to all those who participated.
In the evening, Ceilidh’s Comet got us jigging! Caller & fiddle player, Will Antell certainly had everyone in a spin with his excellent repartee 🙂
A GREAT DAY was had by all and A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to EVERYBODY who volunteered their time and helped make it happen 🙂
