The contest was great fun. Entries ranged in size from ½oz to 235lbs. And there was a huge variety of unusual entries. This year there was a class for decorated pumpkins for the first time. The Playgroup carried the day with Bogitty Bog's car (which also won a cup and £5 at the Bear and Ragged Staff Contest the previous day) and everyone who entered did very well. We will have classes for different ages for the decorated pumpkins next year to make the contest fairer.
Special thanks go to John and Jane for hosting the event at The Plough, to the people who sponsored the hot dogs and the prizes, to Nona and Nigel for judging, to the people who gave raffle prizes and Nigel who gave a shield, to the last minute clerical team and to everyone who made the show such fun by entering.
The raffle raised over £50 for the school/playgroup building project.
Well done everyone! |
