now interviewing

We had our first village fete advert in London's Metro newspaper this morning. It was next to an advert for the Biggin Hill International Air Fair. We didn't get grumpy though, we're both on different weekends so no conflict of interest. That old bi-wing plane looks really good as well.

yes, no or maybe?

Along with this fete blog, website and flickr group we've just set up a new FaceBook event page for this years fete (you'll need to be logged into FaceBook to see it).

If you're one of the FaceBook fanatics out there it would be lovely if you could pop over and let us know if you'll be coming to this years fete but clicking 'yes, no or maybe' RSVP bit on the right hand side of the page. Then if you fancy it invite your favorite FaceBook friends along too.

We'll be trying to keep the page up to date with all the latest fete news and stuff over the next few months. Then we'll stick all our pictures and films on it after the weekend. And invite you to do the same.

we're back like burt bacharach

It's time to dust off the bunting and straw hats again and start getting ready for the innocent village fete 2008. We've booked up our same little corner of Regent's Park, London for the weekend of Saturday 2nd & Sunday 3rd of August this summer. The innocent village fete is back.

And so are our friends from last year Faireys Band (we had to have them back after this)

and the marvelous Earl Okin.

Amongst many, many other musical and fete like highlights. Watch this space as they say.
