Riccall Dickensian Fayre 2011
The Dickensian Fayre proved to be another success this year .The weather was kind - with just a few drops of rain halfway through - but not enough to spoil the fun! We had old fashioned fairground rides in the car park of the Hare and Hounds to add to the atmosphere this year and the barrel organ could be heard around the village tempting visitors to come and see. The ever popular lighting of the Church path continues to be successful, thank you to the scouts for their help with this. Mulled wine, hot roasted chestnuts and Santa were all very popular
The two raffle prizes were won by Jill Taylor of York and Mr Smith of Hollicarrs.
The Christmas tree competition was won by the Carnival Committee with their cup-cake tree! All entries benefitted - by receiving the contents of their box. Well done to everyone who took part.
We raised approx £900! So thank you to all the stall holders, helpers and of cause everyone who attended.

The Carnival and Dickensian Fayre are organized and run entirely by volunteers. More are always welcome, especially at the setting up and taking down stage. All skills are needed, from financial expertise to making the tea for the work parties. Putting up bunting requires a certain amount of skill up a ladder, but someone has to untangle it and pass it up! If we work together as a community we can fund events in Riccall and enjoy a friendly, fun atmosphere at the Carnival and Dickensian Fayre.
You do not have to be a resident of Riccall to offer your help. If you want to be more involved, please contact us. We would particularly like to have some new faces on the Committee which meets on the first Tuesday evening of every month at Riccall Methodist Chapel at 7.30pm. Ideas for the Carnival and Dickensian Fayre are always welcome so just come along or contact us with yours.
