Letter to Mr George Scarrott from Quenington
Parish Council
For as long as I can remember we have had a
travelling fair visit the village of Quenington. I myself have
lived here for 58 years. To begin with it was Coles fun fair,
which came just for the flower show and was also open on other
days.
On the first day a dance would be held on the
dodgem track, latterly we have had Scarrots fun fair, and its
main day for opening is on the Saturday and this date is known
as Quenington feast.
So as you can see a travelling fair has visited
this village for many years, it is one of the highlights in the
village for young and old alike, and now takes place on the village
green, and is made most welcome by us all.
Long may it last, and hopefully there will still
be people like the Scarrott family to carry this welcome tradition
for many years to come.
