Sir Gavin Williamson joined residents at Sandon’s annual Village Fete this weekend, a traditional summer fair that’s been central to the Village’s social calendar for over 70 years.
Sir Gavin was pleased to see the popularity of the event, which attracted visitors from across Staffordshire to take part in the traditional fete activities, such as carnival games and a grand raffle. The day also hosted archery sessions, alpaca trekking, and ferret racing, among many other activities. Sir Gavin had a go at the archery and enjoyed watching the dog and classic car shows.
The funds raised from the day will support several local organisations, such as the Midlands Air Ambulance and Hixon Community First Responders. Profits will also be donated to the Moira Fund, a national bereavement support charity.
Sir Gavin said: ‘It was wonderful to attend Sandon’s Village Fete, a day out packed with traditional activities and interesting shows. The organisers did a terrific job ensuring that there was something for all the family to enjoy. It’s always great fun to be a part of community events like this, and I’m pleased that the funds will be going towards a range of important causes.’
