Rowdeford Garden Fair was held on Sunday 17th May 2009
The weather was dreadful:
A good 3 inches of rain fell whilst we set up the stands!
Sun broke through soon after we were open and it became
better and better until the afternoon - then wetter and wetter.
Nevertheless, we had over 800 visitors who enjoyed the day.
Standholders were full of praise for the organisation
and all want to come again next year - Sunday 16th May 2010.
Keith Jansz - English impressionist mouth painter - painted the scene before him and did much from memory because spectators stood admiringly and obscured his view. The result was a staggeringly attractive picture which he has donated to us.
It was an entertaining day with something for everyone.
The Town Crier announced
Carl Sadler's trug-making demonstration 
Jack Stephens' children's entertainment 
the climbing wall 
and face-painting 
whilst the James Harpham Trio played jazz for us
