There was all the fun of the fair with a carrousel and an enormous slide which was extremely popular. |

An interesting feature was ferret racing. The ferrets looked adorable, luckily no one got bitten, as they had extremely sharp teeth. |

Ferrets are soft on the outside with sharp teeth on the inside |

Drink Up! |

| The WI supplied cream teas in their newly refurbished hall. This was a welcome place to sit down both inside and outside in the newly landscaped exterior. | ||

The Cookham Dean Village Hall was full of garden produce and enormous chrysanthemums and dahlias with some magnificent colours. There were onions and marrows that were large enough to feed an army and the longest courgette ever. It must have been nearly five foot. Charles Benson did an outstanding job auctioning off some of the produce at the end of the show. |
