TOPPER AT THE FAIR

On a some what chilly dry morning in September Topper & Charlie in Stan decide to head for the Fairground at Weyhill for the Michaelmass Fair held every year and to raise money for a local charity
This year it was to be the Andover branch of Mencap who were trying to raise money to build a Community Resources Centre. £1.4 MILLION See http://www.andovermencap.org/
Having parked Stan up and hoisted the Standard Club sail Topper heads off to see
his attention is caught by the sound of a whistle from a small steam engine on show. There are many stalls selling cakes, walking sticks, cards, burgers, roast pork on a spit, paintings, candles, ladies bags, wood turning, and much more as you would expect at a market fair.
While topper goes off members of the public get a chance to see under the bonnet of Stan the Standard Flying 8 Tourer and, to read all about the rebuild and the help given by The Standard Motor Club. There was a notice board listing the details of membership.
Not all the show was for grown ups as Topper soon discovered Nearby was a Gazebo where two ladies were making up Children’s faces.
Further down the show ground were the animals of www.kidsrome.co.uk where children had the chance to see a wide range of farm animals up close and safe.
Inside one tent Topper found a stall selling delicious sweets but resisted the temptation to have some.
As he made his way back to Stan where he would be the rest of the two days answering people about Stan. Nearby the Blacksmith plied his art on the anvil.
At the end of day two it was time to pack up and head home with Charlie in Stan having enjoyed the Fair and vowing to come again soon to The Christmas Fair 2010 DON’T MISS IT
