Summer Fete a Huge Success for ELF Crediton Fundraising Group

The weather was glorious for our Crediton Fundraising Group's Summer Fete earlier this month. The Fete is always the jewel in the crown for the Group's fundraising event calendar, and this year's Fete was no exception.Knitted Toys Stand

The Summer Fete was held in Copplestone, in the garden of group member Andre Pike. There were a wide selection of stalls selling cakes, books, plants, toys, crafts, and bric-a-brac, plus a raffle, silent auction and guess the bear's birthday game. Visitors were well fed with cream teas and a BBQ, whilst the brilliant Copplestone Community Choir entertained the crowds with two performances in the sunshine.

This year's Fete raised over £2,500 for ELF, an amazing result. A huge thank you to the Crediton Group Committee forRiver City Chorus all their hard work and planning, plus the team of volunteers who ably assisted them on the day. Special thanks to Andre and Bridget Pike, plus their family, for hosting the Fete in their glorious garden and for all their help running stalls.
