Scarborough Annual Street Fair
17 August 2024
The annual street fair was blessed with a warm, sunny day. 20 charities were represented, selling everything from knitted cuddly animals to quality bric-a-brac. Others were there to promote their charity interest.
We were honoured to welcome our Charter Mayor, Councillor Janet Jefferson and husband Geoff who took a great interest in all the charities and their wares. They are pictured presenting the First and Second prizes to the best dressed tables.
This year a special treat was on show, a Dutch Gavioli, organised by a local Rotary Cavalier businessman. The Gavioli played popular songs and was a real crowd puller. Several young children entertained the crowd by giving a lesson in break dancing!
