Diary Date: Hoo Christmas Fayre

Advanced notice about Hoo’s Christmas Fayre - this year taking place on Saturday 10 December in the Village Square. I’ve no doubt this will be another great success!

More details to follow soon . . .
 

All the fun of the Fayre!

I spent much of last Saturday in Hoo Village Square at the ‘Fayre in the Square’. I arrived just after midday and the square was the busiest I had ever seen it. There were plenty of activities and stalls to keep everyone occupied and the promised sunny intervals turned out to be quite long - with only a couple of rain spells to briefly dampen spirits.

One person that was particularly happy to see everyone enjoying themselves was fellow Hoo resident Ben Reeves (pictured below), who was with wife Jenny.

Ben was once Mayor of the City of Rochester-upon-Medway, from 1988 to 1989, and served as Deputy both before and after this as well. He represented Hoo for many years at both district and parish level.

It was really good catching up with Ben, who I joined for a stroll around the square – talking about the history of the village and other local gossip besides!

The Hoo Village Events Committee (and all their helpers) worked really hard to make the Fayre in the Square such a great success.

I’m looking forward to their next event!

Things are hotting up in Hoo!

With the BBC Weather website promising ‘sunny intervals’, I hope the weather will stay nice and warm for the Fayre in the Square tomorrow (Saturday).

Kicking off at 12 noon, there'll be lots to keep everyone occupied - take a look at the images below to find out more.

I hope to see you there!

Fayre in the Square (Hoo), Saturday 20 August 2011

Hoo Village Events Committee have been very busy organising the Fayre in the Square on Saturday 20 August.

An event for the whole family to enjoy, it's taking place (as the name suggests) in Hoo Village Square from 12 noon till 9pm.

It’s going to be a day to remember and one not to be missed!

There’ll be music, entertainment, a variety of stalls, games for the kids, local produce to buy, a bucking bronco and lots more to boot!

The entertainment includes The Desert Flowers Belly Dancers, who will be dancing to their very own exotic beat (sounds like one for audience participation!) and Kent based band ‘Get Carter’ who will perform live in the Square.

This year’s Fayre is taking place in conjunction with Evolution Hairdressers, who are celebrating their 5th Birthday on that day. Happy birthday!!
