The rain didn't beat the enthusiasm of all those that turned up to enjoy this fantastic event.

Dee and her helpers organized an outstanding weekend.

Great music, dancing and shopping.

The Petals, Pins and Purls stall, looked it's best.

 

Music was provided all day by DJ Rocking Rebel Music Machine who did a great job keeping the dancing going in between the live music sets of Greggi G and his crazy gang, Fever and Mark Keeley.

 Darren did a good job of chasing the ladies.

To buy hair flowers of course......

That's because the ladies had been buying new dresses all day, 

and what goes with a new outfit?

Hair flowers from Petals, Pins and Purls.

We look forward to being there again next year.
