We had a few items of lost property handed in during our Carnival, and while we managed to reunite some things there are some outstanding:
If these are yours please get in contact with Carole at chair@knockholtcarnival.org.uk and she will try to reunite you!
It’s been a lot of hard work, but the day’s finally here! Let’s make it a fantastic day for everyone!
Make sure you know where the car parks are. Don’t get caught out by the road closures. Bring your costumes. Sing to the music. Get ready for fun!
Twas the night before Carnival, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The costumes were hung by the front door with care,
In hopes that the Parade soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of fairgrounds danced in their heads.
And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long summer’s nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the garden, the grass and the tree
Gave the lustre of mid-day to what I could see.
When, what to my wondering eyes should arrive,
But a tractor-driven float passing the end of my drive.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the lane
Classic cars lining up for the parade again.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
I saw balloons floating without any sound.
We sprang to our beds, to our kids gave a kiss,
And asleep we all fell with nothing amiss.
But we heard them exclaim as the bunting pulled tight,
“Happy Carnival to all, and to all a good night!”
