Bumper crop of entries at village flower show

Thursday, 06 August 2009

 STOKE Climsland Flower Show defied recent weather and proved a success, with entries up overall on last year.
The sun shone for the event last Saturday, which had more vegetable entries than organisers were expecting.
The flower, craft and produce show had entries from cauliflowers to cross stitch, and photos to fudge. The Launceston Town Band entertained and there was a circus workshop with Passing Showers, together with face painting. The teas on offer sold out.
