Fete Day 2000

For those of you who didn't manage to get to Longhope's First Annual Fete of the new millennium, here is a quick round-up.

The Teletubbies!	The carnival queen and princesses.	The Longhope School float.

The carnival queen from 1955 - Jennifer Traub with this years' princesses.	Our personal loudspeaker for the fete - Richard Pett.	The actors for the falconry display.

Horse and cart rides.	Try your pot at the archery range.	Transport around the Rec is provided.

The all-singing all-dancing Music Man.	The most popular attraction - The Beer Tent.	Do you know this idiot? - email me with your suggestions.

During the morning, there were a few showers. The first part of the afternoon failed to show any rain, but there was a brief shower at 5:00pm.

Longhope C of E School won the "best float award" for the third year running.
The Teletubbies came first in the "miscellaneous category".

This years' carnival queen is the same queen from 1955 - Jennifer Traub who now lives in Vancouver, Canada, and came over especially for the event.

I hope that everyone who went had a good time.

Thank-you to Longhope C of E School for the use of some of their pictures on this page.
