Day Two of Somersham Carnival 2014, and here’s what we’ve got lined up for you today:
Country Craft Competition
The ever-popular Country Craft Competition sees the talented artists, bakers, preservers, handicrafters, photographers and florists battle it out across 29 different classes, at The Victory Hall.
More information can be found in our earlier post which details all the competition categories.
Entries should be registered between 9:30 and 11:30am, and the doors open to the public at 2pm.
The Crowning of the Carnival Princess
After the great work done by last year’s Carnival Princess Jessica Stancombe and her Attendants Carla Rea and Ella Hudson, their successors will be crowned in a ceremony at Victory Hall at 3:30pm.
Pool Competition
The Centurian Club plays host to this year’s Pool Competition for those who are 16+.
Registration for the competition is at 1:30pm (for just £1), and play begins at 2pm.
Somersham Carnival Novelty Dog Show
The hounds, pooches, puppies, and faithful old plodders of Somersham have their chance to compete for the title of ‘Best In Show’ and the Christine Caston Memorial Cup.
