Celebrating summer in style at Ebrington fete and dog show
JEAN has been selling the ice cream at Ebrington Village Fete for the past 35 years.
Jean Rowell is one of the many volunteers who make this ever popular annual Traditional Village Fete and Family Dog Show so special and explains why it attracts large crowds of visitors from surrounding areas like Stratford, Mickleton and Chipping Campden.
Last Saturday’s fete was a delight for all those who were there and it included classic vehicles, live music, Flowers of Ilmington Ladies Morris, tractor and trailer rides, lots of jams and preserves and a children’s fun zone.
“It was an amazing day with a huge crowd of people and dogs,” said Daphne Law, secretary of Ebrington Village Fete. “It’s always been a good traditional fete and we also had a display of Taiko drumming which was very athletic. I work on the gate and we had so many lovely comments from people as they were leaving. It was a special day.”
It’s also a special day for village organisations including Ebrington Church who all get a share of the profit made from the show.
