Cookham Dean Fete 2007

What makes this Fair stand out is the good old ideas of fairs providing things to wander around and enjoy without having to spend a penny. Things like the displays oc fruit and vegetables - judged by a member of the royal horticultural society.

There's art work to be enjoyed and bought by three different Cookham art clubs showing off their talent.

There were exotic reptiles to look and even touch! There were Llamas to be stroked and ferrets to race.

The afternoon was a complete sunny success and thoroughly enjoyed by the hundreds of people who visited from far and wide.

It follows on in the third week of Cookham excelling itself as one of the loveliest and most sociable places to live.

We've had the Cookham Regatta on the Thames followed by the Gravity Grand Prix go kart races and then in another burst of sunshine - the famous Cookham Dean annual Fair. How lucky we are..

All sorts of animals could be handled at the Fair from llamas to snakes to ferrets.

21 year old James and Jamie will be rowing from Australia to Mauritius across the Indian ocean next April. It's to raise money for Headway - the brain injury association. They will take it in turns rowing two hours on and two hours off - for around 80 days!

Reptile Celebrities had their own marquee. They provide Displays, handling sessions and educational talks about live exotic reptiles.

The Tarrystone Players were out in force promoting their next production DInner Ladies by Victoria Wood.

See it in November at Pinder Hall

Ricky Lonmon enjoys the Pimms tent!

The WI cake stall was popular as ever.

The village hall provided the cultural part of the afternoon.

Three different art clubs submitted their works for sale

The judges were there to decide the best fruit and vegetables and floral displays.
