� Staple's 2001 Country & Craft Fayre
Sunday 24th June, Staple Recreation Ground
Staple Fayre's run of good luck with the weather continues!� The sunshine brought out around 1500 people and the Fayre was a great success.� This was Chairman Ben Holness' first year as fair organiser.� It was also the first time the Fayre has been jointly run by the Committee and The Ash & District Young Farmers.
The money raised from the Fayre was shared between the various village organisations and The Ash & District� Young Farmers.� (Which will help them to continue making their regular donations to charity).
As always, there was something for everyone at the Fayre: from quality wines for adults (Barnsole Vineyard Stall) to Captain Colin for the kids.� Along with new stalls and events� there were many of the now 'traditional' Staple Fayre attractions� such as Vintage &� Classic Vehicles and Leigh Holmes' Birds of Prey. The ever-popular barbecue was also present (long queues and delicious smells !).
Other attractions included Maypole Dancing (Goodnestone Primary School Pupils),� it's a Knockout, Tossing The Bale,� Face Painting,� Tug of War, Coconut Shy and� Crockery Smashing.� A variety of organisations also had a presence at the Fayre: These included St. Johns Ambulance,� Wingham Fire Brigade, St.James Church, RNLI and The Hilderstone Radio Club.
