Preston Steam Fair and East Kent Rally

Preston Steam Fair 26th & 27th June

What a great weekend. We pitched our tents on the Friday night as it was cooler and decided that we would have the two tents up which would give more room for the dogs to stretch out. It did not matter whether you were interested in steam engines or not as there was something for everyone. There were the classic cars and bikes, Fair ground rides, lots of stalls, horses, dogs, ferret racing, displays and demonstrations and live music. Not forgetting also the beer tent which housed the big screen for people to watch the football.

There was a steady flow of people throughout the two days that we were there and we had a lot of interest in the dogs to be homed. The old favourites like Elvis came along to help with his two girlfriends Nellie and Katie, Elvis has built up some what of a fan club and we are always asked how he is doing. Greg and Honey were there to help us too along with Girlie and Lady. April now and old hand at these events took up her usual position on her bean bag together with Hazel who was some what of a novice, it’s hard work lounging around and looking pretty all day but they all managed it quite well.

Thanks to Anne, Geoff and the Gibbs family for helping out we could not continue doing these events without their help so a big THANK YOU.

Below are some photos of our time at the fair.
