Joyce Crabtree at the Village Fair – 92 and counting!
Our most loyal supporter, Joyce Crabtree, now 92, was introduced by John Williams at the Fair on Saturday. She has presented us with a pile of old photos of the fair over the years which I shall scan, but in the meantime, thought you would be interested in one of her stories of Fair day in 1984. Here is Joyce in 2004 with our very own Fortune Teller – Madam Elinorac. And now over to Joyce, who has written this letter to us all: There are easier ways to get to the North Bovey Fair than the one taken by Kenneth and Joyce Crabtree on July 21st 1984. but we started…
