The Foggie Gossip August Special Edition |
FOGGIE SHOW DAY SPECIAL
The annual Foggie Flower Show was held on Saturday 18th August 2007. Hopes that the mid morning light drizzle might cease, faded, as the rain worsened during the rest of the day, putting a dampener on a good number of outdoor activities. The Highland Dancing competition had to retreat to the Church Hall in Main Street and other field events were cancelled. Despite the poor weather, a reasonable crowd turned out to enjoy all the exhibits and entertainment. The Show organisers and helpers had to re-arrange the programme and entertainment 'on the hoof ', whilst coping with the adverse conditions. Three beauties who brightened up an otherwise dismal Foggie Show day. |
