What a terrific turnout at the village fete yesterday! The TATA stall boasted a wide variety of allotment produce, flowers, plants, jams and chutneys and homemade cakes. In addition to the edibles, we ran a ‘guess the weight of the marrow’ competition and a raffle with prizes including a box of fruit and vegetables, a sultana cake, free-range eggs and jams/chutneys and a bottle of wine.
A huge thank you to all who made this event successful from produce donation, preparation, setting up, volunteering on the stall and clearing away at the end of the day.
Sunflowers attracted a lot of interest – we only had 1 small stem left at the end of the day. Fasted selling goodies included rhubarb, beetroot, runner beans and jams/chutneys. Before the official opening of the fete, we had to replenish rhubarb, beetroot and runner beans from the allotment!
Overall we sold out of pretty much everything and in total raised a whopping £300 [which is £95 more than in 2018]
