Street was a mmi-circus featuring a llama, two miniature ponies and a pair of dogs which per formed tricks.
Chairman of the fayre
committee, Tony Spencer, could not hide his delight at how events turned out. “I’m absolutely over the moon,” he said.
“It takes two and half
to three thousand man hours to organise this event and you give a big sigh of relief when you see the number of people who come to the town on the day to enjoy them selves.” Clitheroe Mayor Coun.
Jim McGhie had only praise for the fayre and the people supporting it.
“It has proved again to
be a lovely family day out and one worth travelling some distance to attend,” he said. “ I met some strangers from Dunferm line and they were enjoy ing every minute.” The Ribble Valley’s
chief civic dignitary, Coun. John Walmsley, de scribed the crowds as marvellous considering
the poor weather. But the memorable day
was perhaps best summed up by last year's fayre chairman, lan Lloyd. “We had our doubts
this time,” he said, “but already we’ve decided to run the fayre again next year and some people have inquired about stalls. What more can you say?” Indeed, the success of
the fayre speaks for itself. Here's to 1987!
