Thanks to everyone for turning out to show your support for the Carnival Royalty. The evening went well without a hiccup, it was a great start to Carnival Week. I see various properties are starting to get decorated, don’t forget to get your entry forms to the Pop In by 7pm tomorrow!
After the crowning the was a great performance by that Hartland Town Band, I would just like to say thank you to them and everyone who turned up to watch
With less than two weeks to go Hartland is busy with carnival plans, I hope you have got your ideas for your entry sorted! The committee have been working hard and I think we are now on top of it, a big thanks to all the sponsors for there donations. This year’s sponsors have been uploaded to the sponsors page, please help them to help us by using there services. You will notice collection tins are out around the village, please give generously, if you would like a collection tin, drop me a line. Entry forms for the procession are available online or in the Post Office or Pop In, there are also entry forms for the best decorated premises in the Post Office and Pop In.

Grand Procession 2010
Well the weather started bad but from lunchtime on, there was no rain and that was good enough for me, and thousands others for that matter, the east car park was nearly full!! Less entries than last year (20) but one entry was made up of four vehicles, the Allin’s Top Gear entry made up of three camper vans in the style of the Top Gear vehicles that were recently filmed at Hartland Quay and a film crew! The Blue Ribbon Award for best float award went to “The Railway Children” which also scooped best local float and The Jamie Johns Memorial Trophy for most entertaining float! The most successful walking group was Bollywood who scooped the Blue Ribbon and Most Entertaining walker’s awards! Other first in classes included Radio Caroline’s “The boat that rocked” and Avatar!
I have uploaded some photos kindly taken by Bob Seymour from Shoreline Photography, I am afraid I am limited to uploading 30 a month so please keep checking back. If you have any good photos that we can use please email them to me brian@hartlandcarnival.com or drop a CD/DVD into the Pop In.
Full results will be posted soon!
