This year’s fete is being held on Sunday June 25 from noon, as usual in the Isfield Community Enterprise field behind The Laughing Fish pub. Activities will get under way from this weekend, however, when local residents will start to display their entries in the Scarecrow Trail through the village. This is a regular feature of the festival. A different theme is chosen each year by fete organisers – this year’s is America – for the Trail, which stretches the length of Station Road and adjoining roads. Villagers usually manage to come up with a few offbeat ideas as well as the more traditional; the name Trump comes to mind. Fete visitors are invited to walk the Trail and on fete day vote for their favourite, whose creator will win a prize. Mr Brooks said: ‘We are delighted again to hold a traditional fete which will provide fun for families and well as raise money for local good causes.’ Among the attractions will be a novelty dog show (pet owners should sign on when the fete gates open at noon), displays by mobile performing actors, a parade of award-winning racing sheep, a scurry race, ‘school sports’ games for both children and adults, a tug-of-war, with the winning team being challenged by a tractor, and the ever-popular and usually messy egg-throwing competition. Mousetown will also be making an appearance … an attraction described as a miniature village with live mice as residents. There will also be a wide variety of stalls offering delights from jewellery, various crafts and a selection of refreshments.
