COMPETITIONS IN THE CHURCH
The North Bovey fair grows closer but there’s still plenty of time to enter the ‘Decorate a hat fit for a Coronation Competition’. Dress up any hat anyway you like. Flowers, feathers, veils, ribbons and bows all make a glorious hat for a special day. Doesn’t have to be a ladies hat either, Toppers or flat caps can all be flamboyantly decorated. Just leave room to tug your forelock. Or if you want to go completely over the top just make a crown, we’d love to see it! All entries to the Church by 12.30pm on Fair Day which is Saturday 15th July.
