Grand Summer Fete and Farmers' Market

The sun shone all day, music was in the air and stall-holders danced at the Summer Fete and Farmers’ Market on Culross Village Green on Saturday, 23rd July.

The event was opened by Bill Walker MSP, and he encouraged everyone to enjoy the day and spend, spend, spend! They obviously followed his advice and Culross & Torryburn Church will be almost £4,000 better off, because of Saturday’s efforts.

A wide selection of music and entertainment was provided by Radio West Fife and Morris Comerie delighted the crowds with his renditions of Scotland the Brave and Highland Cathedral amongst his vast repertoire.

The church sold teas with home-baking in the marquee and this proved to be a welcome respite for fete-goers. No matter which stalls everyone visits, Bab’s teas are not to be missed!

The raffle drew £431 and the winner of the Laphroaig Whisky was Barry Batchelor of Knowehead Products, Newburgh, who had one of the
Farmers’ Market stalls.

Robert Nelson’s horse & cart rides through the village proved to be very popular with adults as well as children this year.

The organisers wish to thank everyone who helped make this day such a success and hope you return next year.
