Until Next Year!
With the sun continuing to shine down on us, the Carnival Committee are now tidying up and finishing off a few outstanding tasks.
Prizes from the Grand Draw will be delivered to the lucky winners over the next few days and the bunting and posters will be taken down.
We had a lovely warm evening for the Carnival Procession, with plenty of drinks and food along the route (thanks to the Silver Hind, Frog & Jam Jar and Hot Stuff) and at Jubilee Field for the post procession party, (thanks to, The Laughing Street Chef, Pride of the Forest Catering, The Football Club & Steven Deweys Ice Cream Van).
Thanks also to the Dolphin Marching Band acting almost as Pied Pipers! with loads of happy children chasing them around the field, the Ukelele Band that marched in the procession and then played until the DJ started.
Thanks to all Sway residents for the hard work and efforts put into their costumes and to everyone else that joined in on the evening to make for a wonderful procession and party.
The Fete suffered a little from both the heat and a certain football match (come on England!) so again a big thank you to all that attended & helped to make it a great day, lots of lovely stalls, demonstrations by village clubs, Kate for her fun Dog Show and all those that brought along lovely historic cars and bikes.
The Church Picnic and Service was again well attended as was the Jazz on the Lawn at The Manor at Sway. Singing and Music were the order of the day, and both sounded wonderful. What a great way to end ten days of Carnival.
So! until next year, BYE!
BUT! Don't forget Carnival will be appearing again in December for the lighting of the Christmas Tree and maybe some additional events.
