Haddington Festival Stall June 7, 2008
Posted by jsquires in : Uncategorized , trackback
We did, amazingly considering the timescale, manage to get a stall together for the Haddington Festival. It consisted of several saplings and a wormery, both kindly lent by Haddington Infant School, loads and loads of relevant leaflets, and a flock of penguins protesting against climate change. Apart from some ants escaping from the saplings, it went off more or less without incident. We had to take the stall down on the Monday for an event later on, but decided to risk leaving it up for the children’s Dog Show, despite warnings of chaos from the stall holder next door. Which turned out to be a good call, as captive adults had a good chance to have a look through all the leaflets, especially since most of the stalls had packed up. It was interesting getting to talk to people while manning the stall - sadly couldn’t do as much of this as hoped due to work/children/abundance of cheap (locally baked) cakes.
We ran out of several of the leaflets - the eco-driving one was popular, not surprising with rising fuel prices. The Vegetarian Society ones also went well, and Walks Around Haddington disappeared early on. The penguins, luckily, stayed till the end, surviving both the Dog Show and the unmanned hours. Let’s hope their trip from the Antartic will pay off.
