<strong>Hockwold</strong> Country Fair 2012<br />
Thank you everyone who visited, were running stalls or<br />
helped out in anyway. We hope you enjoyed the day. We<br />
were blessed with a very good day of weather and the attendance<br />
was pretty good too, even with it being Fathers Day.<br />
The trailer bringing people from the car park was full on each<br />
arrival at the gate for quite some time keeping those looking after the entrance<br />
on their toes. Anyone who is wondering about the bird that flew away during<br />
CJs Birds Of Prey later demonstration they were eventually found safe and<br />
sound. Again this year the funds raised have produced a healthy profit and we<br />
shall be making donations to those village organisations, that attended and<br />
ran a stall, very soon.<br />
As a major village event it must keep going.<br />
Fresh minds with new ideas wanted.<br />
So if you felt inspired after visiting the Country Fair maybe you would<br />
like to come and join us. New committee members are always welcome. Perhaps<br />
as Secretary, a position which is currently available. If you are interested<br />
please phone me on 07876 780100<br />
Also thank you to all committee members without whom the Country<br />
Fair wouldn’t happen.<br />
Next years Country Fair will be on Sunday June 2 nd 2013. Put it in your<br />
diary.<br />

Scarecrow Competition<br />
Many thanks to all those who took part in the scarecrow competition this<br />
year, what an inventive and creative lot you are!<br />
Congratulations go to the winner Anna Roe with her ‘Mad Hatters Tea<br />
Party’ (which can be seen on the back cover of the magazine), and also to<br />
runner up <strong>Hockwold</strong> Primary School with their ‘Olympic Lion’. A special commendation<br />
went to Evelyn Haylett for her ‘Unlucky Fisherman’. Thanks to the<br />
Rev. Ken Waters and Mrs. Waters for judging the entries.<br />
Dog Show<br />
A marvellous array of pooches joined us on the field for the dog show,<br />
kindly judged by Frankie Shaw. Competition was tough and all were outstanding<br />
in their own way, fully deserving of their entry dog treat. Congratulations to<br />
Poppy (and her owner Cameron) who won Best in Show, to Roxy (and her<br />
owner Anna) who won Waggiest Tail, and to George (and his owner Barry)<br />
who won ‘Dog that Most Looks Like It’s Owner. Congratulations also to the<br />
winner of the puppy competition, a Teacup Yorkie—but apologies for not being<br />
able to remember your name!
