I can't believe that the fair is over again! Months of preparation, organising & advertising culminated in yet another successful event.
All the stall holders rolled down Chipping Sodbury high street bright & early & after many "hellos" from regular sellers & introductions to new ones, we all set to work to set up so we could open to the public on time.
At 10am I opened the front doors to an eager crowd & our very first visitor started off the day on a bright note by squealing "Oooh! I'm SO excited!".
Then it was all hands on deck as the day began.
As you can see from the photo below, there was quite an enthusiastic crowd of shoppers!
As always Michele & I are so grateful for the level of enthusiasm of our stall holders & the support & fabulous comments from our visitors.
Our tea room threesome did a stirling job once again keeping everyone supplied with tea, coffee & homemade cakes.
I have posted a a few photos of my stall here but if you'd like a virtual visit to admire all the stalls, please pop over to our Flickr group here
Just for fun - the shoes of choice of the day! (Lizzie, Donna & me)
OK M, on to the next one..............
Isn't it strange how the months of preparation seem to be over in a flash.. and already we are thinking about the next one. Must be in our blood now. It was a great day.. a day that left me utterly exhausted but thinking hard about November.. we need to talk!

The more I read about your lovely fair the sadder I am that I live so far away (and don't drive into the bargain). It all looks fabulous and from comments I have read on other sites you created a hit again. Well done. One day!.....
